The number decreases as the amount of electrons decreases

Answer:
A metalloid is a type of chemical element which has a preponderance of properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals. There is no standard definition of a metalloid and no complete agreement on which elements are metalloids. Despite the lack of specificity, the term remains in use in the literature of chemistry.
A series of six elements called the metalloids separate the metals from the nonmetals in the periodic table. The metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. These elements look metallic; however, they do not conduct electricity as well as metals so they are semiconductors. They are semiconductors because their electrons are more tightly bound to their nuclei than are those of metallic conductors. Their chemical behavior falls between that of metals and nonmetals. For example, the pure metalloids form covalent crystals like the nonmetals, but like the metals, they generally do not form monatomic anions. This intermediate behavior is in part due to their intermediate electronegativity values. In this section, we will briefly discuss the chemical behavior of metalloids and deal with two of these elements—boron and silicon—in more detail.

Explanation:
The law of conservation of mass states that mass is conserved which also means that it cannot be created or destroyed within the isolated system.
We can add the mass of the reactant and can be equal to the mass of the product. But in some cases, it will not work like:
If reactants are not in the mole ratio, there will be a limiting reagent.
If a gas is one of reactants or products.
Radioactive decay and nuclear reactions(fission or fusion).
Answer: 225 joules.
Explanation:
If this a one dimension problem, this is the motion is in the same direction of the force, the equation for work is:
Work = distance × force
⇒ Work = 15 m × 15 N = 225 joules.
This is a special case of the general equation
Work = |F| |displacement| cosine (angle between the force and displacement)
When force and displacement are in the same direction, the angle is 0, so cos(0) = 1. This is the two vectors are parellel and the work is just the product of the two magnitudes (force and distance)
