Answer:

+3

12 electrons and 15 protons.

Explanation:

The element having 15 electrons and 15 protons have atomic number 15. We know that when an atom lose or gain the electron ions are formed.

Anion formation:

Anion is formed when electron is accept by an atom.

X + e⁻ → X⁻

Cation formation:

Cation is formed when electron lose be an atom.

X → X⁺ + e⁻

The given atom loses 3 electrons thus oxidation number will be +3 and cation is formed.

X → X³⁺ + 3e⁻

Now element X have 15 protons and 12 electrons.

What are the pros of using steel?
lora16 [44]
There are many pros in using steel. Steel is tensile. It has a high strength to weight ratio which means it has high strength per unit mass. So no matter how large the overall structure is, the steel sections will be small and lightweight, unlike other building materials. Also, steel is very durable. Structural steel structures can withstand external pressures such as earthquakes, thunderstorms, and cyclones.

Match each gas law with the correct statement.
Serhud [2]
The correct match are as follows:

Boyles Law is about a gas at constant temperature. Therefore, the correct match would be the volume of a gas varies inversely with pressure if the temperature is kept constant.

Charles Law would be that the volume of a gas varies directly with temperature if the pressure is kept constant. 

Gay-lussac's law would be that the pressure of a gas varies directly with temperature if the volume is kept constant.
