Atomic number.
The atomic number is what defines the element.
The model of the atom has dramatically changed over many many years.We learned atoms make up different substances and are the smallest particles of matter, which have subatomic particles that are very small portions of matter. At first scientist only thought there were electrons which are negatively charged.
Answer:
In a neutral molecule, the sum of the bonding valance electrons must be equal. So the products of the negative element and its charges and the positive element and its charge must be equal.
Explanation:
C1×N1 = C2×N2
If we have a 3 valance electrons , the 'A' charge will be either +3 or -5 for a full octet and valance electron in 'B' atoms will mostly result in acquisition of additional electrons (2) for an octet and relative charge of -2.
Balancing the two,
3 × A = -2 × B
To be equal, A = 2 and B = 3
Therefore, A²B³
