Atoms combine<span> by forming chemical bonds</span>
Usually (ignoring transition metals, as they kinda get trickier), the element's valency can be found out by its group (column) number. Usually, we ignore the transition metal block while counting these columns, so Aluminium is in group 3, for example. Since Aluminium is in group 3, it has 3 valence electrons.
The answer is [Ne] 3s^2 3p^5 because chlorine is the fifth element in the 3rd row of elements in in p orbital
An atom with an atomic number of 10 and a mass number of 24 would have 14 neutrons.
<h3>What is atomic number and mass number?</h3>
The term atomic number, conventionally denoted by the symbol Z.
Atomic number indicates the number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom, which is also equal to the number of electrons in an uncharged atom.
The mass number of a given atom is defined by the number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus. In simple,
Protons + Neutrons = Mass Number
