Let's break down the composition and characteristics of the atom you're asking about:
1. **Is the atom neutral?**
- Yes, the atom is neutral because it contains equal numbers of protons (which are positively charged) and electrons (which are negatively charged). In this case, there are 2 protons and 2 electrons, resulting in a net charge of zero.
2. **Is the atom stable?**
- Yes, the atom is stable. It contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons; this composition corresponds to helium (one of the most stable elements), which typically has a stable nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
3. **What is the atomic mass?**
- The atomic mass can be approximated by adding the number of protons and neutrons together. Here, you have 2 protons and 2 neutrons, resulting in an atomic mass of approximately 4 atomic mass units (amu).
4. **What is the atomic number?**
- The atomic number is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Since there are 2 protons, the atomic number is 2.
5. **What is the atomic charge?**
- The atomic charge is the net charge of the atom. Since the atom has equal numbers of protons and electrons, the atomic charge is 0 (neutral).
6. **What is the atomic symbol?**
- The atomic symbol for an atom with 2 protons is He, which stands for helium.
In summary:
- Is the atom neutral? **Yes**
- Is the atom stable? **Yes**
- What is the atomic mass? **4 amu**
- What is the atomic number? **2**
- What is the atomic charge? **0 (neutral)**
- What is the atomic symbol? **He**
