Q

what is the difference between physical and chemical changes (reactions)?

A

In a physical change, the appearance or form of the matter changes but the kind of matter in the substance does not. They can be reversed. In chemical change the kind of matter changes and at least one new substance with new properties. This cannot be reversed.

Q

how do you know how many electrons an atom has?

A

the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons within the nucleus, meaning you can determine the number of electrons based on the element’s atomic number.

A

metal (number) non-metal

67
Q

what are polyatomic ions?

A

a charged molecular compound that tends to act as a single unit during chemical change. they are named as a single entity as the ions are not rearranged when they bond to a metal ion
