The answer would be 2+ since the atomic number represents how many protons are in the element. In this case, there are 16 protons, but only 14 electrons, which means there are an additional 2 protons, hence the 2+ charge on the ion.
The question above is incomplete, the full question is given below:
What additional test would be needed to establish the exact position of hydrogen in the activity series of the following elements: magnesium, zinc, lead, copper and silver.
ANSWER
The position of hydrogen on a reactivity series can be determined by its ability to displace oxygen from the oxide of the metal concerned. If hydrogen is more reactive than a metal, it will displace oxygen from the metal oxide and reduce the metal oxide to its metal. If the metal is more reactive than hydrogen, hydrogen will not be able to reduce the metal oxide to its metal.
Answer:
the third option
Explanation:
The circuit is incomplete and broken, and the lights in the circuit do not shine.
An open circuit means an incomplete circuit.
The first option is wrong since the lights do not shine in an open circuit.
The second option is wrong since an open circuit is incomplete.
The fourth option is also wrong since an open circuit is broken or incomplete.
∴ The third option is correct.
