Answer 4

an atom is the smallest particle of a chemical element that can exist.

Answer 5

"Over 99% of the atom's mass is in the nucleus. The protons have a positive electric charge, the electrons have a negative electric charge, and the neutrons have no electric charge. Normally, an atom's electrons balance out the positive charge of its protons to make it electrically neutral."

Answer 6

So, essentially, if it is an atom (and therefore in its uncharged form) then 10. Electrons must always equal protons in an uncharged atom.

Answer 7

And so the answer is......?

Answer 8

C

Answer 9

Well done. An atom has the same number of protons and electrons :)
