Question
Verify a − (−b) = a + b for the following values of a and b. a = 21, b = 18
Advertisements
Solution
a = 21, b = 18
a − (−b) = 21 − (−18) = 21 + 18 = 39
a + b = 21 + 18 = 39
∴ a − (−b) = a + b = 39

An atom consists of charged particles called electrons and protons. Each proton has a charge of +1 and each electron has a charge of –1. Remember number of electrons is equal to number of protons, while answering these questions:
- What is the charge on an atom?
- What will be the charge on an atom if it loses an electron?
- What will be the charge on an atom if it gains an electron?
