Let's analyze the atom you've created with 9 protons, 9 neutrons, and 9 electrons.
1. **Is the atom neutral?**
- Yes, the atom is neutral. An atom is neutral when the number of protons (positively charged) equals the number of electrons (negatively charged). In this case, there are 9 protons and 9 electrons, so they balance each other out.
2. **Is the atom stable?**
- Yes, the atom is likely stable. An atom is generally considered stable if it has a balanced number of protons and neutrons to form a nucleus. With 9 protons and 9 neutrons, this atom (which is fluorine) is stable. However, it's worth noting that stability can also depend on the specific isotope and other factors, but in this case, the most common isotope of fluorine (with 9 neutrons) is stable.
3. **What is the atomic mass?**
- The atomic mass can be approximated by adding the number of protons and neutrons. For this atom:
- Atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons = 9 + 9 = 18 atomic mass units (amu).
4. **What is the atomic number?**
- The atomic number is determined by the number of protons in the atom. For this atom, the atomic number is 9.
5. **What is the atomic charge?**
- The atomic charge is neutral (0) since the number of protons equals the number of electrons. Therefore, there is no overall charge on the atom.
6. **What is the atomic symbol?**
- The atomic symbol for this atom is F, which stands for fluorine. Since there are 9 protons, this identifies the atom as fluorine.
In summary:
- Is the atom neutral? Yes.
- Is the atom stable? Yes.
- What is the atomic mass? 18 amu.
- What is the atomic number? 9.
- What is the atomic charge? 0 (neutral).
- What is the atomic symbol? F.
