Question

An atom has a charge of 1+. If the atom's nucleus contains 23 protons, the atom must have

Answer 1

neutral atom has an equal number of positive and negative charges. If a neutral fluorine atom has 9 protons and 10 neutrons, how many electrons will it have? If and atom has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 17 electrons, what is the mass of this atom? A certain atom has 11 electrons, 8 neutrons, and a charge of -

Answer 2

Answer: The atom must have 22 electrons

Explanation:      Neutral atoms have the same number of protons as they do electrons. Since the charge of these two particles are equal in magnitude and opposite in sign, the charge of a neutral atom is zero. When an atom gives up or takes on an electron, the positive and negative charges are no longer balanced. Extra electrons give an atom a negative charge. Fewer electrons give an atom a positive charge.

so therefor it would be 22 FOR SURE
