Surface over which the air mass was formed.
Answer:
The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons is equal to the difference between the mass number of the atom (M) and the atomic number (Z).
Explanation:
Answer:
Nuclear Charge
Explanation:
As we move from sodium to chlorine across, there's increase in atomic number (protons). This also means there is increase in the valence electrons (The valence electrons is denoted by the group).
As the number of protons increases, the nuclear energy also increases. Due to this, the electrons are attracted more strongly and pulled closely to the nucleus.
