Answer:

False- The number of electrons does not affect the type of element.

Explanation:

The adding/removing of protons is what changes the type of element. for example, if you have a molecule of Boron, which has 5 protons, and you add one proton, you will have created a carbon molecule with 6 protons. The number of protons of an element is its atomic number. Elements can have varying numbers of both electrons and neutrons without changing the type of element.

Answer:

That oxidation number of chlorine is -1 while that of oxygen is -2

Explanation:

When it comes to manganese chloride to stabilize the chlorine Ion. Two manganese ions shall be required. Hence the formula for the compound becomes $M_nCl_2$ while the formula for manganese (iv) chloride will be $M_nCl_4$ similarly.

When oxygen and magnesium oxide is considered the Two ions of Manganese will satisfy to ions of oxygen. Which cancels and becomes $M_nO$ while for manganese (iv) oxide the formula becomes $M_nO_2$ .
