Which cube is more dense? The left or the right? Explain.

Right. The cubes have the same volume, but the cube on the right has a greater mass (more particles). Therefore, the right cube is more dense (particles are more tightly packed).

500

An atom has 20 protons, 20 neutrons, and 18 electrons. What is its overall charge?

+2

20 protons (positive)

20 neutrons (neutral)

18 electrons (negative)

+20 +0 -18 = +2
