Question

1) if a neutral atom has 18 protons, how many electrons would it have?

2) if a neutral atom has 10 protons, how many electrons would it have?

Answer 1

so for one because the number of electron of the atom is 18 which means its electron arrangement is 2.8. 8. and for two there would be 10 electrons

Answer 2

1) The neutral atom would have 18 electrons.

2) The neutral atom would have 10 electrons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Protons have a positive charge, and electrons have a negative charge. A neutral atom refers to an atom whose charge is 0. This means the amount of electrons and protons must be the same.
