7 0

Electrons are negatively charged particles while protons that are found in the nucleus are positively charged. In the natural scheme of things, positive and negative charge produces an attractive force that pulls one particle towards the other. However, based on Rutherford's model of an atom, which is the planetary model that conclusively suggests that electrons revolve around the nucleus, such attraction between the two opposing particles creates an electromagnetic force that enables electrons to move around the positive nucleus thus preventing the electrons from spiraling towards it.

What is the identity of the element, and how many neutrons does it have? An elements most stable ion forms an ionic compound wit

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B. CA, 14

Explanation:

Atoms of elements contain small particles known as electrons, neutrons, and protons. The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons which are at the center of the atom. Electrons on the other hand surrounds the nucleus. Electron has negative charge while proton has a positive charge. The number of neutrons is equivalent to the number of protons . In addition, the number of protons is equal to mass number minus the number of electrons.

For the compound $XCl_{2}$ , it can be broken down into $X^{2+}$ and $2Cl^{-}$ . Its ion has a mass of 34 and 18 electrons which means it has already lost 2 electrons.

Therefore:

For the given element, the number of electrons is 18+2 = 20 electrons.

The number of protons = 34 - 20 = 14.

And the number of neutrons is 14.

Only option B has the correct answer.
