a nucleus with four protons has a total positive charge of ______.
a nucleus with four protons has a total positive charge of ______.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Determine the charge of one proton
The charge of one proton is (+1.6\times10^{-19}\text{ C}).
Step2: Calculate the total charge for four protons
Multiply the charge of one proton by the number of protons. So, (Q = 4\times(+1.6\times10^{-19}\text{ C})). [ \begin{align*} Q&=(4\times1.6)\times10^{-19}\text{ C}\ &=6.4\times 10^{-19}\text{ C} \end{align*} ]
Answer:
(6.4\times 10^{-19}\text{ C})
