Answer:
16
Explanation:
Protons have a positive net charge,
Neutrons being neutral don't have a net charge.
Each proton is one extra net charge if you have 16 of them and the neutrons don't affect your net charge you will have 16.
It is going through a physical change
Atoms or molecule after gaining of electron possesses negative charge and is known as anion.
For the given sets:
The given elements are alkali metals and have tendency to lose electrons easily and form cations.
The given elements are non-metals and are electronegative. So, they gain electrons easily and form anion.
Carbon has tendency to form bond by sharing of electrons, Sulfur has tendency to gain electrons and form anion whereas Lead has tendency to lose electron.
Potassium and Iron has tendency to lose electron and form cation whereas Bromine has tendency to gain electron to form anion.
Hence, from the given sets, all elements of set: 
have tendency to form anions in binary ionic compounds.
Answer:
Because X-rays have wavelengths similar to the size of atoms
When the same species undergoes both oxidation and reduction in a single redox reaction, this is referred to as a disproportionation. Therefore, divide it into two equal reactions.
NO2→NO^−3
NO2→NO
and do the usual changes
First, balance the two half reactions:
3. NO2 +H2O →NO^−3 + 2 H^+ + e−
4. NO2 +2 H^+ + 2e− → NO + H2O
Now multiply one or both half-reactions to ensure that each has the same number of electrons. Here, Eqn (3) x 2 results in each half-reaction having two electrons:
5. 2 NO2 + 2 H2O → 2 NO^−3 + 4H^+ + 2e−
Now add Eqn 4 and 5 (the electrons now cancel each other):
3NO2 + 2H^+ + 2H2O → NO + 2 NO−3 + H2O + 4H+
and cancel terms that’s common to both sides:
3NO2 + H2O → NO + 2NO^−3 + 2H+
This is the net ionic equation describing the oxidation of NO2 to NO3 in basic solution.
