Free electrons tend to go from the negatively charged body to the positively charged body

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

Free electrons, which have a negative charge, tend to go to the body that has a positive charge. In this way loads are stabilized.

Free electrons are not bound to any body. They also travel the free space around or near the atom.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed but it can simply be transformed from one form to another.

For example, $Na^{+} + Cl^{-} \rightarrow NaCl$

Mass of Na = 23 g/mol

Mass of Cl = 35.5 g/mol

Sum of mass of reactants = mass of Na + mass of Cl

= 23 + 35.5 g/mol

= 58.5 g/mol

Mass of product formed is as follows.

Mass of NaCl = mass of Na + mass of Cl

= (23 g/mol + 35.5) g/mol

= 58.5 g/mol

As mass reacted is equal to the amount of mass formed. This shows that mass is conserved.

As a result, law of conservation of mass is obeyed.

What is the identity of the element, and how many neutrons does it have? An elements most stable ion forms an ionic compound wit

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B. CA, 14

Explanation:

Atoms of elements contain small particles known as electrons, neutrons, and protons. The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons which are at the center of the atom. Electrons on the other hand surrounds the nucleus. Electron has negative charge while proton has a positive charge. The number of neutrons is equivalent to the number of protons . In addition, the number of protons is equal to mass number minus the number of electrons.

For the compound $XCl_{2}$ , it can be broken down into $X^{2+}$ and $2Cl^{-}$ . Its ion has a mass of 34 and 18 electrons which means it has already lost 2 electrons.
