Scelta multipla
In the context of chemical bonds, what is the net electric charge of the nucleus of an atom?
A
Positive, due to the presence of protons
B
Neutral, because protons and neutrons cancel each other’s charge
C
Variable, depending on the number of chemical bonds the atom forms
D
Negative, due to the presence of electrons
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall the basic structure of an atom, which consists of a nucleus and electrons surrounding it.
Understand that the nucleus contains protons and neutrons, where protons carry a positive charge and neutrons are electrically neutral.
Recognize that electrons, which carry a negative charge, orbit the nucleus but are not part of it.
Since neutrons have no charge, the net electric charge of the nucleus depends solely on the number of protons it contains.
Therefore, the net electric charge of the nucleus is positive due to the presence of protons.
