Answer 9

A proton has a positive charge

Question 10

Where are the protons found ?

Answer 10

Protons are found in the nucleus

Question 11

Where can u find the electrons?

Answer 11

You find the electrons gravitating around the nucleus

Question 12

What are protons and neutrons held by ?

Answer 12

Protons and neutrons are held by nuclear energy

Question 13

What is a atomic mass ?

Answer 13

The atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons.

Extra points : they are measured in AMU - atomic mass units

Question 14

How do u find the number of protons in an element?

Answer 14

To find the number of protons an element has you look at the atomic number.

Question 15

How do u find the number of electrons a element has?

Answer 15

The number of electrons are the same number as protons. So look at the atomic number .

Question 16

How do u find the number of neutrons?

Answer 16

To find the number of neutrons a element has, subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.

Atomic number - Atomic mass = Neutrons

Question 17

How many electrons can each shell have ?

Answer 17

Each shell can only hold 8 electrons. Except for the first shell, the first shell can only hold 2 electrons.

Question 18

Do electrons contribute to the atomic mass of a element?

Answer 18

No, they don’t. Electrons are very light.

Question 19

What is the periodic table ?

Answer 19

The periodic table is a table in that is arranged by increasing order of mass and atomic number.
