Atoms can join together to form molecules, which in turn form most of the objects around you. Atoms are composed of particles called protons, electrons and neutrons. Protons carry a positive electrical charge, electrons carry a negative electrical charge and neutrons carry no electrical charge at all.

Answer from: brittanysanders

The atom is the smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element. All atoms are composed of subatomic particles called neutrons (particles with no charge, neutral), electrons (negatively charged particles) and protons (positively charged particles).

The proton is located in the nucleus, an atom's central region. The number of protons in the nucleus is the atomic number, which determines the identity of an element. The neutron is located in the nucleus of an atom. Together, the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus determine the mass number of the atom.

The electron is likely to be found in the electron cloud, a region around the nucleus of an atom. The electrons located in the electron cloud interact with other atoms or ions when joining together to create a compound. A compound a substance made up of atoms or ions of two or more different elements joined by chemical bonds.

Hope that helps.

Answer from: Quest

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.

Does anyone know a lot about how to: - calculate mass of magnesium metal - calculate the actual yield of magnesium oxide - calculate the theoretical yield of mgo - calculate the percent yield of mgo - determine the percent yield of mgo - determine the average percent yield of mgo i had to do an online lab and its asking these questions but i have no idea where to start or how to be able to find these things. i can post the chart of the data from the lab or if you can tell me exactly how i can find each.
