(ii) what is the charge on the atom?
If number of electrons in an atom is 8 and number of protons is also 8, then
(i) what is the atomic number of the atom and
(ii) what is the charge on the atom?
Solution:
(i) Atomic number = number of protons.= 8.
(ii) Number of electrons (-ve) = number of protons (+ve) , therefore, the charge on the atom is 0.
(i) Atomic number = number of protons.= 8.
(ii) Number of electrons (-ve) = number of protons (+ve) , therefore, the charge on the atom is 0.
