If an element is composed of atoms with an atomic number of 6 and a mass number of 14 then a neutral atom of this element contains?

Proton 6

Neutron 8

Electron 6

Explanation:

A neutral atom of an element is one that is not charged. There are 2 deciders if the neutrality of an atom. These are the electrons and the protons. Since the electrons are positively charged leading to a net positive core(nucleus), there must be a mechanism that supplies same amount of negative charges to maintain the electrical neutrality of the atom.

Since they both carry similar albeit opposite charges, the number of electrons would be equal to the number of protons. This is essentially why an atom is adjudged to be electrically neutral.

Now to get the number of neutrons in an atom, we simply subtract the proton number from the mass number.

In this case specifically, the number of neutrons is 14 - 6 = 8

Since it has also been said that the atom is neutral, the number of electrons too will be 6 electrons

answers: to make sure that all of the broken pieces of tablet were added to the water, to allow for fair comparison of all three trials, with different particle sizes to avoid experimental error

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.
