- Atoms that loss or gain electrons are called ions. There are two types of ions: cations and anions.
- Here, 2+ represents that Calcium (Ca) should gain 2 more electrons so that its number equals to that of protons.
- 3- represents that Nitrogen (N) should loss 3 electrons to equivalent with the number of protons.
- Here, anions are S^2-, P^3-, Se^2-, Br^-.
- While cations are Cr^3+, Ag^+, Li^+, Ba^2+.
- The number of protons of Magnesium (Mg) = 12
- The number of nuetrons of Mg = 12
- The number of electrons of Mg = 12
Hope you could get an idea from here.

Answer: Tin (Sn)
Explanation: The electron configuration for tin (Sn) is shown in the picture. It's last electrons are:
5s^2 4d^10 5p^2
The valence electrons are in the 5th electron shell and include 2 each in the 5s and 5p orbitals.
The correct answer is:
3) Earthquakes can be caused by volcanic eruptions.
You were right :)
Answer:
An Arrhenius base is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydroxide (OH–) ions. In other words, a base increases the concentration of OH– ions in an aqueous solution.
