What is the charge of four protons?
Answer: Electrons aren’t made of quarks, but have a charge of -1. Knowing this, the total charge of protons is (4*1) = +4, the total charge of neutrons is (5 * 0) = 0, and the total charge of electrons is (3*-1) = -3. Add them up and you get +1.
What are the six atoms?
These elements are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur.
What is the name of Group 6 on the periodic table?
Group 6A — The Chalcogens. Group 6A (or VIA) of the periodic table are the chalcogens: the nonmetals oxygen (O), sulfur (S), and selenium (Se), the metalloid tellurium (Te), and the metal polonium (Po). The name “chalcogen” means “ore former,” derived from the Greek words chalcos (“ore”) and -gen (“formation”).
What element is in Group 6 and Period 6?
