<h2>
Answer: Mg²⁺ & N³⁻</h2>
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
Magnesium (group IIA) loses two electrons to become a cation. This is the most energetically favorable way for Magnesium to obtain a valence electron that is stable (octet). When an atom loses electrons it has a positive charge that matches the number of electrons lost.
Nitrogen (group VA) gains three electrons to become an anion. This is the most energetically favorable way for Nitrogen to obtain a valence electron that is stable (octet). When an atom gains electrons it has a negative charge that matches the number of electrons gained.
Answer:
They all vibrate, but they all move differently.
Explanation:
Similarities: They all consist of particles and vibrate, just at different frequencies.
Differences: The particles in solids move slowly and vibrate. In liquids, they move a bit quicker and slide past one another. They will also take the shape of the container they're in. In gases, they move freely at high speeds and also taking the shape of the container.
Hope this helped! :)
Thank you so much men nice well
Number protons is what determines the element.
16 protons determines that the substance is sulphur.
The number of neutrons can vary according to the isotope. The mass number is the total count of neutrons and protons, so sulphur with a mass number of 34 has 34-16=18 neutrons.
32.065 is the weighted average of the atomic weights of different isotopes, so does not apply to a single isotope.
