Protons cannot be lost without the atoms becoming an entirely different element. Elements can infact have different numbers of neutrons within the same element, but neutrons are not related to the electrical charge. The answer is c. electrons.

Answer: The correct answer is Option C.

Explanation:

There are 3 subatomic particles present in an atom. They are: protons, electrons and neutrons.

Protons: They carry positive charger and are found in nucleus.
Electrons: They carry negative charge and are found around the nucleus.
Neutrons: They dos not carry any charge and are found in nucleus.

An ion is formed when an atom looses or gains electron.

When an atom looses electrons, it will form a positive ion known as cation.
When an atom gains electrons, it will form a negative ion known as anion.

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

Describe the spin of carbon-14's valence electrons and explain how you came about your answer.

Snezhnost [94]

we have to know the spin of valence electrons of carbon-14

There are four unpaired electron which are called as valence electron also.The spin of the four unpaired electron is either upfilled or down filled.

The ground state electronic configuration of C-atom is 1s²2s²2p² and one electron from 2s orbital gets excited to 2p orbital. The elctronic configuration in excited state is 1s²2s¹ $2p_{x}^{1} 2p_{y}^{1}2p_{z}^{1}$ .

The electron jumps because half-filled orbitals are more stable. Exchange energy is less than pairing energy.
