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.

Question 5
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

any object that is larger will take a longer time to do things, the same applies to heat levels. The lower the heat, the longer it takes, the higher the heat, the shorter it takes. So if an iceberg is large, it will need a higher heat, whereas an ice cube is really small and doesn't need that much heat to melt.

Why are covalent bonds between hydrogen and nitrogen or oxygen polar?
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Covalent bonds are bonds between to atoms that share a pair of electrons, there are three kinds of covalent bonds but I'll describe only two:

Covalent non polar bond: is a covalent bond between two elements of the same element. Ex two hydrogens, two chlorine, two oxygenes, etc.

Covalent polar bond: is a covalent bond between 2 elements of different elements, for example: hydrogen and chlorine or nitrogen, they are polar because on of the element that form it is smaller than the other one, then a partial positive and a partial negative charge is formed.
