Question

question 6 of 25. put these atoms in order from most negative overall charge to least negative overall charge. atom x: 104 protons, 102 electrons. atom p: 7 protons, 10 electrons. atom b: 24 protons, 18 electrons. atom q: 15 protons, 16 electrons.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate charge for each atom

Charge = Protons - Electrons
Atom X: $104 - 102 = +2$
Atom P: $7 - 10 = -3$
Atom B: $24 - 18 = +6$
Atom Q: $15 - 16 = -1$

Step2: Order by negativity

Most negative: Atom P (-3), then Atom Q (-1), followed by positive charges Atom X (+2), Atom B (+6).

Answer:

Atom P, Atom Q, Atom X, Atom B
