D.  The number of electrons equals the atomic number for a neutral element.  Each number after the letter refers to the number of electrons in that shell.  So for D, 2+2+6+2+6+2 = 20 electrons, which is equal to the atomic number.

What are some examples of some monotonic ions found in the body and how do they affect the body? Please help, anything will help
Luba_88 [7]
Atoms are electrically neutral because the number of protons, which carry a 1+ charge, in the nucleus of an atom is equal to the number of electrons, which carry a 1- charge, in the atom. The result is that the total positive charge of the protons cancels out the total negative charge of the electrons so that the net charge of the atom is zero. Most atoms, however, can either gain or lose electrons; when they do so, the number of electrons becomes different from the number of protons in the nucleus. The resulting charged species is called an ion.

1. The answer is option E, that is None of the above is correct.

As a polymer becomes more crystalline,

its melting point doesn't decreases, its density doesn't decreases, its stiffness doesn't decreases and its yield stress doesn't decreases.

2. The answer is option B, that is the molecules are arranged in sheets, with their long axes parallel and their ends aligned as well.

In the smectic A liquid-crystalline phase, molecules are arranged in sheets, with their long axes parallel and their ends aligned as well.

3.  For a substitutional alloy to form, the two metals combined must have similar atomic radii and chemical bonding properties.
