The answer is (3)Ne. Usually, the elements belongs to group 18 all have completely filled valence electron shell. Among the four elements carbon, vanadium, neon and antimony, only neon belongs to group 18.
Given :
An atom of a certain element has 12 protons, 14 neutrons, and 2 valence electrons.
To Find :
The name of this element.
Solution :
We know, element with atomic number ( number of protons ) 12 and valance electrons is Magnesium.
Now, isotope of magnesium of proton with 14 neutrons is Mg-16 .
Therefore, name of element is Mg-16 .
Hence, this is the required solution.
The reactants in the neutralization reaction are an acid and a base while the products are a salt and water.
