Answer:
Boron
Explanation:
You can find this by looking at the number of protons in Boron, 5.
Then calculate how many electrons you are given, in this case the 2 core plus the 3 valence equal 5 total electrons
Neutral elements have the same number of protons and electrons, so your answer would be the element with 5 electrons, Boron.
You can also know this by using electron configuration. Since you kow there are 5 electrons then you can use EC to find out where your element is. In this case it is: 1s2 2s2 2p1
Answer:
B. An ionized atom has a number of protons that is unequal to the number of electrons.
Explanation:
For a neutral atom , the number of proton and electron is equal. An ionized atom has either loss or gain electron, thereby making the number of proton and electron unequal. The answer B is true because an ionized atom has either loss or gain electron to make the number of electron and proton unequal.
Option A is incorrect because a cations holds a positive charge when it loss one or more electron not when it gains one or more electron(s). Anions possess negative charge for gaining electron(s).
Option C is not true because ions can also carry negative charges and they are called anions.
Option D is false because losing one or more electron will turn an atom to a cations.
