Additive Inverse Property (Part 2)

The video tutorial explains the additive inverse property using real-life examples. It starts with a financial scenario where a debt of $250 is offset by earning the same amount, resulting in a balance of $0. This illustrates that the opposite of a number is its negative. The tutorial then explores the concept in science, using atomic charge as an example. An atom with equal protons and electrons is neutral, while an imbalance results in a positive or negative charge. The lesson concludes with a recap of the additive inverse property.

If a person has a debt of $250 and earns $250 to pay it off, what will their balance be?

• $500

• -$250

• $250

• $0

What is the additive inverse of 250?

• 0

• -250

• 250

• 500

In atomic terms, when does an atom become neutral?

• When it has an equal number of protons and electrons

• When it has no protons or electrons

• When it has more electrons than protons

• When it has more protons than electrons

If an atom has 11 protons and 10 electrons, what is its charge?

• Positive 11

• Neutral

• Positive 1

• Negative 1

What concept was the focus of this lesson?

• Debt Management

• Multiplicative Inverse

• Additive Inverse

• Atomic Structure
