In an electrically neutral atom of any element, there are equal numbers ofA)protons and neutrons.B)electrons and protons.C)electrons and neutrons.D)atomic number and atomic mass

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

B) Electrons and protons  

Explanation:

Each proton has a positive charge, and each electron has a negative charge. If the atom is electrically neutral, there must be the same number of electrons and protons.

A) and C) are wrong. Neutrons have no charge, so they can't counteract that of the protons or the electrons.

D) is wrong. The atomic number is the number of protons, and the mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons. The neutrons can't  counteract the charge of the protons,

Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

In an electrically neutral atom of any element, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. This balance gives the atom its neutrality. Atomic number and atomic mass do not directly relate to the atom's electrical state.

Explanation:

In an electrically neutral atom of any element, there are equal numbers of electrons and protons. This balance between the negatively charged electrons and positively charged protons ensures the overall electrical neutrality of the atom. Neutrons, which are neutral particles, do not affect electrical neutrality. The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom while the atomic mass, close to the number of neutrons, is the sum of protons and neutrons.

Why there will be a change in the sole of the shoes after using many days?

Answers

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

Due to the frictional force, this force acts in the opposite direction to the movement of the person's shoe. This force tends to wear the sole of any shoe. We must remember that the frictional force is defined as the product of the normal force by the coefficient of friction between surfaces.

For this case, it should be the coefficient of dynamic friction between the pavement and the material of the sole of the shoe

What happens on the side of earth opposite the moon?

Answers


On the side of Earth opposite the Moon, people over there don't see
the Moon, for about 12 hours and 20 minutes.  Then they see it again. 
And they tend to have a high tide somewhere around the middle of that
period of time.  I mean if they live on the coast, of course.

Didn't you really mean to ask about the side of the Moon opposite the Earth ? ?
That story is a lot more interesting.


The sun and moon gets the angle of a seabed coming up the coast land and the high ocean currents and winds all affect the height of the tides.

What is the change all living things undergo as the grow

Answers

All of the change that living things undergo as they grow is called development. That is the name when the changes are within a single unit and over a period of time as short as a lifetime. When the change occurs over thousands of years then it's called evolution.

What would happen if a rocket ran out of fuel in the Earth's atmosphere?

Answers

It would do exactly what a rock or a frisbee does when you toss it.

After the engines cut off, it couldn't get any more energy from
anywhere, and after that, as it pushed air aside to get through,
and had air molecules scraping against it, those would slowly
rob kinetic energy from it.  Sooner or later it would run out of
kinetic energy, start falling, and it would eventually make either
a big 'SPLOOSH' or else a big 'CRUNCH', depending on exactly
where it returned to Earth's surface.
The rocket would fall back down to the surface of earth because there would be nothing propelling it upwards.
