The increase in nuclear charge as you move across period 2 from group 14 to group 18 is offset by a simultaneous increase in the number of electrons, resulting in the atomic radius remaining relatively constant. The additional electrons in each successive element are added to the same energy level (n=2 in period 2), which keeps the average distance of the outermost electrons from the nucleus consistent.

An uncharged atom of boron has an atomic number of 5 and an atomic mass of 11. How many protons does boron have?

Boron has 5 protons because the atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom.


What is an uncharged particle in the nuecleus of an atom called?

The uncharged nucleon is the neutron. We use the term nucleon to refer to the particles that make up an atomic nucleus. These you know to be protons and neutrons. You also know protons carry a positive charge, and the neutron has no charge. The neutron is that uncharged nucleon.

If the number of charged and uncharged particles in the center of an atom are 7 and 8 respectively.What is the mass number of the atom?

The charged particles would be protons (+) and would have a mass of 7 ( which would also tell you its atomic number, making this element Nitrogen). If the uncharged particles are eight in number and like protons have a value of one, 7 + 8 = 15 for atomic mass. Since the actual atomic mass of N is 14.007, the difference in mass tells us that we are talking about an isotope of N.


Which isotopes of uncharged elements have different numbers?

Isotopes of uncharged elements have the same number of protons (which determines the element), but different numbers of neutrons. For example, carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon with different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons.
