Answer: I believe the correct answer would be A.
Answer:
54
Barium atomic number is 56, this means that it has 56 protons in its nucleus and put it as a period 6 element. an uncharged barium atom would have 56 electron also. However as a group 2 element barium easily loses 2 electron to form the +2 cation. the ions has 56-2=54
Answer:For Fe
Z=26
Explanation:
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d6
Are there 26 electrons here? Why should there be 26?
So going back to the inert gas, argon ( Z=18 ), we get
[Ar] 4s2 3d6
Make sure to check your work by counting the electrons you have
Answer:
a negative ion, and an isotope.
Explanation:
The perfect atom consists of an equal balance in all 3. If the neutrons are not even with the protons, it is an isotope since it is like another version of the so called (but not actually) 'perfect' atom. If there is more electrons, the charge is negative, making it an ion.
