Number of proton K=19
so, 42 - 19 =23
then the answer in 19 protons and 23 neutrons
Answer : The correct answer is the Bonds were broken on the reactants and new bonds were formed on the products.
Explanation :
In the chemical reaction, some substances react together are called reactant and the substance are formed are called product.
During the chemical reaction, the atoms of reactants rearranged to make products. There are on atoms are added or taken away in the reaction. This is known as the conservation of atoms.
For example : carbon atom react with the oxygen to form carbon dioxide.

From the given diagram, we conclude that the arrangement of molecules are different on both side of the mixture of reaction.
On the reactant side, the red molecules bonded with red molecule and the black molecule with white molecules. On the other hand i.e product side, the red molecule bonded with black molecule and white molecule bonded with red molecules. The molecular arrangement are different on both side of the reaction mixture.
Therefore, the correct answer is the Bonds were broken on the reactants and new bonds were formed on the products.
Answer:
It's because removal of electron from an atom, reduces the size of an atom.
Explanation:
When an electron is removed from an atom, it becomes an ion and in this case it will become a postive ion.
When an electron is removed from an atom, the charge balance of an atom is disturbed and positive charge increases in comparison to the negative charge. This results in increase nuclear (positive) charge which exerts greater attraction on the remaining electrons and as a result the remaining electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus and in this way the atomic size is decreased. Due to this increased nuclear attraction and reduced atomic size, it bcomes difficult to remove more electeon from the positively charged ion of reduced size. This is the reason that each successive ionization of electron requires a greater amount of energy.
The ionization energy has inverse relation with the size or radius of an atom. This also justifies the reason that why each successive ionization of an electron requires greater amount of energy.
