What else can I help you with?
A neutral atom contains 12 neutrons and 11 electrons. what is the number of protrons in this atom is?
A neutral atom with 11 electrons would, by definition, have to have 11 protons. In this case, we are talking about Sodium.
The atomic number of an atom is also equal to which quantity?
Firstly, an atom is uncharged by definition. If it is charged, that is it has gained or lost electrons, its name is changed to an ion. The atomic number is the number of protons of an atom of that element. And the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
What is the smallest piece of an element that still retains the properties of the element?
The smallest piece of an element that still retains the properties of the element is an atom. Atoms are the building blocks of all matter and preserve the unique characteristics of each element, such as its chemical behavior and physical properties.
What is the number of protons for Florine?
Fluorine has 9 protons per atom: The number of protons per atom is by definition the atomic number of an element, and reference to a periodic table shows that the atomic number of fluorine is 9.
Must the number of electrons in an atom equal the number of neutrons?
No, the number of electrons in an atom does not need to equal the number of neutrons. The number of electrons in an atom is typically equal to the number of protons in order to maintain electrical neutrality, while the number of neutrons may vary, affecting the atom's stability and isotopic properties.
