Answer 3

thanks you

Answer 4

What do you think

Answer 5

false?

Answer 6

So we want to get rid of the charges

how can we make it have no charge
Do we need 2 of one? If so, which one?

Answer 8

we need two of tje oxygen?

Answer 9

Oxygen has a -2 charge

If we have two oxygens then we have a 2 * (-2) = -4 charge

Answer 10

i dont know then man im so lost

Answer 11

ok so let's not use + and - charge

we're making some fruit thing and we want one apple for every orange
