Answer:

3.  number of protons

Explanation:

In a neutral atom, the total number of electrons in such an atom is equal to the number of protons.

There are three fundamentally known sub-atomic particles in an atom. They are:

Protons which are positively charged and are contained in the nucleus

Neutrons which do not carry any charges

 Electrons which are negatively charged.

Both of protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus.

Atoms are charged by gaining of losing electrons.

When an atom gains electrons, they become negatively charged and the number of electrons in them becomes more than that of protons.

When they lose electrons, they become positively charged as the the number of protons is more.

Neutral atoms have equal number of protons and electrons in them.

Answer:

Ni^2+

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Proton = 28

Electron = 26

Neutron = 34

Next, we shall determine the atomic number of the element.

Atomic number of an element is simply defined as the number of protons in the atom of an element.

Thus,

Atomic number = proton number

Proton = 28

Atomic number = proton number = 28

Atomic number = 28

Therefore, the element is Nickel since no two elements have the same atomic number.

Finally, we shall determine the charge on the Nickel atom as follow:

Proton = 28

Electron = 26

Charge on atom =

Charge on atom = Proton – Electron

Charge on atom = 28 – 26

Charge on atom = +2

Therefore, we can represent the Particle as Ni^2+

Why don't metals form covalent compounds?
Firdavs [7]
Metals don't form covalent bonds because of the low ionization energes of the metal atoms. It is easier for them to release electrons rather than sharing it. But this is not always the case, there are some metals that can form covalent bonds.
