The answer would be 2+ since the atomic number represents how many protons are in the element. In this case, there are 16 protons, but only 14 electrons, which means there are an additional 2 protons, hence the 2+ charge on the ion.
"Only electrons are involved in chemical reactions" is the statement among the following choices given in the question that is the <span>best explanation for chemical reactions not to produce radioactive particles. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". </span>
Explanation:
sodium atom is neutral while sodium ion is a charged specie with a charge of +1
The characteristic bright-line spectrum of an element is produced when its electrons return to lower energy levels To be in the ground state all electrons must be in their lowest energy state; all excited atoms must lose energy. The lost energy appears in the form of light. Hope this helped :)
