The elements are electrically neutral, this is they have the same amount of positive as negative charge.

Electrons and protons have each the same amount of charge but different sign. Eletrons are negative and protons are positive.

Then to be neutral, the number of electrons must be equal to the number of protons. This mean that the element must have 12 electrons.

Answer: 12.

The ion [Co(NH3)6]2+
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Explanation:

The answer would be  B.

As paramagnetic with 3 unpaired electrons. Since there are 6 ligands around the Co+2 ion it isoctahedral and these ligands are neutral. This makes the overall charge on the complex +2 and therefore comes from the configuration for Co+2 which is [Ar] 3d7. Since it is in high spin you must fill all the orbitals with at least one electron and then pair up any that remain. If you do this, 3 unpaired electrons remain. Para magnetism occurs in substances with unpaired electrons.

What causes global convention currents
shepuryov [24]

Answer: Land absorbs heat energy and releases heat energy quickly. Water absorbs heat energy and releases heat energy slowly. Global convection currents are set up in the atmosphere because of the unequal heating of Earth's surfaces.
