- Suppose you collect 1000 kilograms of sea salt by evaporating ocean water. How much of the 1000 kilograms is sulfate? - if you wanted to collect 245 grams of sea salt, how many kilograms of ocean water would you need?

because the two particles have an equal charge, the charges will cancel out and give the atom an overall charge of 0. so, if at atom has 35 protons in the nucleus, we could expect it to have 35 electrons orbiting that nucleus.
