The charge of an atom is the sum of the charges of its protons, neutrons, and electrons.

• Each proton has a charge of e.
• Each neutron has a charge of 0.
Each electron has a charge of -e.

An atom consists of 6 protons, 10 neutrons, and 4 electrons.
How many electrons would need to be added to make the charge of the atom 0?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2 electrons

Step-by-step explanation:

2 electrons is the answer

If u need explanation do mention in comments

Answer:

*2 electrons more*

Explanation:

  • In an atom the number of electron and protons must be same.

Otherwise, it will have charge and form ions.   [ ignore the neutrons ]

Here,

  • protons: 6
  • electrons: 4

The electron and proton is unbalanced, In order to make them same.

2 more electrons need to be added to make total 6 electrons.
