It shows the atomic number
Answer:
Group 18, also known as the Noble Gasses
Explanation:
Atoms strive for full stability by gaining or losing electrons to get 8 valence electrons in their valence shell, but Group 18 already has 8 electrons in their valence shell, and are therefore already stable in their ground state.
The mass number of this particular element is 37
An element with 17 protons will ALWAYS be chlorine.
The mass number is found by adding the element’s protons and neutrons.
protons+neutrons=mass number
Here is the math if needed,
17+20=37
Therefore the mass number is 37
