How much electrical charge does an atom with 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 5 electrons have? How much electrical charge does an atom with 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 5 electrons have? a total charge of +17 a negative charge of -5 a positive charge of +7 a positive charge of +1 none of the above

a positive charge of +1

Explanation:

The charge carried by atom depends on the number of protons and electrons present. The neutrons are not charged hence they do not contribute to the net charge of the specie.

The specie mentioned in the question has six protons and five electrons. Hence it has an excess of one positive charge hence a net charge of +1.

chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. these processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions. some reactions produce heat and are called exothermic reactions and others may require heat to enable the reaction to occur, which are called endothermic reactions. understanding chemical changes is a major part of the science of chemistry.
