The number of protons in an atom of krypton is 36.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The number written above the symbol of Kr in the periodic table represents the atomic number of the element . Then the number written in the below represents the mass number.
So the mass number of krypton is 84 and the atomic number of krypton is 36. As it is known that number of protons and electrons will be equal in a stable element. Thus, the krypton atom will be having 36 protons.
Percent composition is mass of element over mass of compound times 100. 6.41 + 9.60 = 16.01 g of compound, so % composition of sulfur is 6.41/16.01 x100 or 40.0%. % oxygen is 9.60/16.01 x 100 or 60.0%.
They have 6 electron in their outer orbital. That means they want 2 electrons to be stable. Since metals have the tendency to give electron oxygen receives 2 electrons. The answer is -2
