17 protons 17 electrons 18 neutrons
I believe the correct answer is 11 g
It honestly depends weather or not they create them the same way
The correct answer is b. an element
The explanation:
when the ELEMENT is define as substance that cannot be decomposed (broken down) into simpler substances by ordinary chemical means. Examples: gold, iron, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen
Ex: diamond will be broken into carbon as well.
and SUBSTANCE: Material composed of only one kind of matter throughout (same atoms or same molecules).
Electron configuration
an element A has 3 shells and has 3 valence electrons
so electron configuration of A: 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p¹
will tend to lose 3 electron to form a cation: A³⁺
a. Nitrate of A
A(NO₃)₃
b. Chloride of A
ACl₃
c. Oxide of A
A₂O₃
