QUESTION 13 An atom of carbon has six protons. What will happen if the number of protons is increased to 7? Would it still be carbon? Refer to the periodic table below if needed. Periodic Table of the Elements Os Ba Tv MA 44 2228 44 ERE PALE Oa. Yes, it will still be carbon but it will be a heavier Isotope Ob. It will no longer be carbon, because the number of protons determines the specific element. Oc. It will no longer be carbon, an element with an atomic number of 7 is Nitrogen. O d. Yes, it will be carbon but it would be an ion with a positive charge. e. Both b and care true. QUESTION 14 QUESTION 15 of an element vary in the number of neutrons and are named according to their atomic mass. Which of the following choices correctly explains why atoms are considered to be electrically neutral (no overall electrical charge)? O They have an equal number of protons and neutrons O They have an equal number of protons and electrons They have an equal number of neutrons and electrons O They can gain or lose electrons to remain electrically neutral QUESTION 13 An atom of carbon has six protons.
