Answer:
E²⁺
Explanation:
The group two contain alkaline earth metals.
There are six elements in group 2A.
Beryllium, Magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium.
All members have two valance electrons.
They lose two valance electrons to complete the octet.
When they lose the two valance electrons they form cation X²⁺.
They react with halogens and form salt such as
MgCl₂, CaCl₂ etc.
Mg²⁺ Cl²⁻₂
The oxidation state of halogens are -1, while the elements of group two A shows +2 that's why two atoms of halogen are combine with one atom of alkaline earth metals and make the compound overall neutral.
All the alkaline earth metals have similar properties.
•The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons it has. If the atomic number is 20 then we know the atom has 20 protons.
•The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons the atom contains. The mass number is 41 and the number of protons is 20, just subtract 20 from 41 and you will get the number of neutrons: 41 - 20= 21. The atoms has 21 neutrons.
•The number of electrons found in an atom is equal to the number of protons. The atoms has 20 protons which means it has 20 electrons.
So, the answer is:
B) 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons

Explanation:
(a) The handspan is the distance between the tip of the thumb and tip of the little finger when the hand is fully stretched.
b) It is impossible for them to obtain an accurate result by the use of a handspan because it doesn't use any standard unit for measurement. It is entirely subjective and highly prone to human errors.
c) Anupam is quite intelligent and active
