A Small Piece of Aluminum (Atomic Number 13)contains 1015 Atoms

Question 13

Multiple Choice

A small piece of aluminum (atomic number 13) contains 1015 atoms.(The atomic number is the number of protons;it determines the (positive) electric charge of the nucleus and,thus,the number of electrons in a neutral atom. ) If the piece of aluminum has a net positive charge of 3.0 μC,what fraction of the electrons that the aluminum had when it was neutral would have had to be lost?
