Answer:
20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons
Explanation:
The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons it has. If the atomic number is 20 then we know the atom has 20 protons.
•The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons the atom contains. The mass number is 41 and the number of protons is 20, just subtract 20 from 41 and you will get the number of neutrons: 41 - 20= 21. The atoms has 21 neutrons.
•The number of electrons found in an atom is equal to the number of protons. The atoms has 20 protons which means it has 20 electrons.
So, the answer is:
20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons
Proton:
Positive
Found in Nucleus
Mass of 1 AMU
Neutron:
Neutral
Found in Nucleus
Mass of 1 AMU
Electron:
Negative
Found in orbitals
Mass of 0 AMU

Answer: The correct option is The properties of a noble gas.
Explanation: There are 7 periods in the periodic table.
The last element of each period are Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), Radon (Rn) and Ununoctium (Uuo).
- The electronic configuration for Helium is
. For He, The outermost electrons are 2.
- The electronic configuration for all the other elements is
( where, n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 respectively). For all the other gases, the outermost electrons are 8.
All these elements have stable electronic configuration and are not reactive in nature. Hence, they are considered as noble gases.
Therefore, the last element of each period always have the properties of a noble gas.
