Explanation:
here are some examples
<u>metals:</u>They are hard and shiny, strong, and easy to shape. They are used for many industrial purposes. This group includes iron, gold, silver, chromium, nickel, and copper, some of which are also noble metals.
<u>non-metals:</u>a chemical element (as boron, carbon, or nitrogen) that lacks the characteristics of a metal and that is able to form anions, acidic oxides, acids, and stable compounds with hydrogen.
<u>metalloids:</u>Physical properties are usually those that can be observed using our senses such as color, luster, freezing point, boiling point, melting point, density, hardness and odor. Metalloids have mixed properties which are difficult to characterize.
It isn't specified which neutral atom of zinc it pertains to. There are 5 stable isotopes of Zinc. It could be any of those. However, one thing is true for all possible conditions. These neutral atoms would have the same number of protons because they are of the Zinc element. It would always have 30 protons when neutral. So, the answer is: <span><em>Both have an equal number of protons.</em></span>
