Question

a vinyl golf tube is electrically neutral. what can be inferred about the relative number of protons and electrons in the golf tube? key: p⁺ = proton e⁻ = electron tap to select or deselect an answer. ⃝ #p⁺ = #e⁻ ⃝ #p⁺ > #e⁻ ⃝ #p⁺ < #e⁻

Explanation:

An object is electrically neutral when the positive charge from protons ($p^{+}$) balances the negative charge from electrons ($e^{-}$). Since each proton and electron has an equal - magnitude but opposite - sign charge, for neutrality, the number of protons must equal the number of electrons.

Answer:

$\#p^{+}=\#e^{-}$
