Answer:
+3
12 electrons and 15 protons.
Explanation:
The element having 15 electrons and 15 protons have atomic number 15. We know that when an atom lose or gain the electron ions are formed.
Anion formation:
Anion is formed when electron is accept by an atom.
X + e⁻ → X⁻
Cation formation:
Cation is formed when electron lose be an atom.
X → X⁺ + e⁻
The given atom loses 3 electrons thus oxidation number will be +3 and cation is formed.
X → X³⁺ + 3e⁻
Now element X have 15 protons and 12 electrons.
Answer:
The pH is 11
Explanation:
Because pH + pOH = 14
and pOH = - log [OH⁻] = - log (1 x 10⁻³) = 3
we can now calculate pH by manipulating equation one above
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 3 = 11
Thus the pH of the solution is 11
Answer:
Solid gallium is a blue-gray metal with orthorhombic crystalline structure; very pure gallium has a stunning silvery color. Gallium is solid at normal room temperatures, but as well as mercury, cesium, and rubidium it becomes liquid when heated slightly
Explanation:
gallium is like water it freezes to turn solid!

An ionic compound is composed of ionic bonds that are formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. The atom that loses electrons acquires a positive charge (cation) while that which gains electrons acquires a negative charge.
In the case of sodium chloride; Sodium Na has 1 electron in its outer orbital while Chlorine Cl has 7 electrons. Thus, Cl requires 1 electron to complete its octet. This electron is donated by Na.
Thus, NaCl is essentially, Na⁺Cl⁻
Ans D) Chlorine becomes an anion by gaining an electron from sodium
