An atom consists of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Each electron has a charge of -1, each proton has a charge of +1, and each neutron has no charge. If 3 electrons are removed from each of 4 atoms, what is the combined net change to the charge of the 4 atoms?

The net charge on the four atoms is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The charge of each electron = -1

The charge of each proton = + 1

The charge of each neutron = neutral

Therefore, if 3 electrons are removed  from each of the three atoms, we have;

The quantity of net negative charge removed from the four atoms = 3 × -1 × 4 = -12

Given that the at the four atoms add equal  number of protons and electrons, we have;

Original charge on the four atoms = n×(-1) +  n×(+1) = 0

Therefore;

The net charge on the four atoms after removal of the 12 electrons  = Original charge - (-12)

The net charge on the four atoms = 0 - (-12) = +12

The net charge on the four atoms = +12.

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
