The nucleus of an atom contains 28 protons and has a mass of 60. How many neutrons does this atom have?

Explanation:

Number of neutrons = mass number - proton number = 60- 28 = 32

electrons = proton number for a neutral atom = 28

the identity of the atom is written as

60

. X

when atoms of different types of elements join together, they make molecules called compounds. water consists of compound molecules made up of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. this is why it's called h2o. water will always have 2 times the number of hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms.

question: which statement best describes the different properties of metals?

answer: they are shiny and bend without breaking.

since metals have certain characteristics properties, they include the following: they are ductile, malleable, shiny, hard, lustrous, flexible and they are good conductor of heat and electricity. so therefore, metals are not dull and they are not non-flexible as listed. instead, they are shiny and flexible.
