Answer:

Number of neutrons = 7

The number of protons = The number of electrons = 5

Explanation:

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

However, when we talk about the atomic number of the ion, it is not equal to the number of electrons as electron can be gained or loosed.

This is why, more appropriately, the number of the protons which are present in the nucleus of the atom is called the atomic number.

Thus, atomic number = 5

Since, it is a neutral atom, <u>The number of protons = The number of electrons = 5</u>

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

12 =  5 + Number of neutrons

<u>Number of neutrons = 7</u>

Mass number = total protons + neutrons, and proton number = total protons (and therefore electrons, if not an ion.) Therefore: Neutrons = 12 - 5 = 7 Protons = 5 Electrons = 5

Answer:

Electrones de valencia.

Explanation:

¡Hola!

En este caso, dado en química se conocen las estructuras de Lewis como representaciones gráficas de como los elementos están enlazados entre sí, debemos tener en cuenta que estos enlaces se forman entre los electrones de valenciam, los cuales son utilizados para su representación. Se sabe que los electrones de valencia son representados con puntos alrededor del elemento a través de puntos que se unen entre sí y son el número de electrons en la capa más externa de los elementos en cuestión; por ejemplo, cloro tiene 7 electrones de valencia, azufre tiene 6, hidrogeno 1, carbono 4 y así sucesivamente.

¡Saludos!
