While the number nuclear protons as given is 34, and therefore we deal with the element selenium, there are 2 more electrons than protons, and therefore this species has an overall

charge.
We represent this selenide ion as

Z= 34, therefore the atom is selenium
Metallic character<span> decreases as you move across the periodic table from left to right. This occurs as atoms more readily accept electrons to fill a valence shell than lose them to remove the unfilled shell. </span>Metallic character<span> increases as you move down the periodic table.</span>
