<u>Answer:</u> The number of protons and electrons in the given ion are 8, 10 respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

For the given representation of ion, which is:  O^{2-}

We are given:

Atomic number = Number of protons = 8

Charge on the ion = -2

Number of electrons = Number of protons - charge = 8 - (-2) = 10

Hence, the number of protons and electrons in the given ion are 8, 10 respectively.

It is measured on a balance.

Explanation:

The mass of an object can easily be determined using a balance or weighing scale.

Mass is the amount of matter contained in a substance. it is has the same value every where and will not vary by geography or location.

Weight is the force on body due to gravity. It is a function of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

Both mass and weight are different.

Collision of which two types of plates create the deepest earthquakes? Why do you think this is?
Elis [28]

Answer:

The collision of oceanic plates and any other plates in which the oceanic plate slides beneath the other plate creates the biggest earth quakes. Most of these earth quakes occur beneath the sea or oceans and can cause volcanic eruptions as well. Tsunami is another oceanic event that occurs due to earth quakes occurring due to shifting of plates beneath the sea.
