Can you tell me if I am right. Thanks

1 answer

3 and 6 are incorrect.
3. The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom; however, since the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons in the neutral atomm, then number of electrons is the atomic number also.
6. Atoms are neutral. All atoms are neutral. If they lose or gain electron(s), then they become ions.
