Question

What transition metal has 5 more protons than the halogen found in period 3?​

Answer 1

Answer: Titanium (Ti)

Explanation:

First, each element has a unique atomic number Z, that is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus.

The halogen in period 3 is chlorine (Ch)

Chlorine's atomic number is Z = 17, this means that it has 17 protons.

Now we want to find a transition metal that has 5 more protons, then this transition metal has Z = 17 + 5 = 22

Now we can look at the periodic table and find the element with Z = 22, and if this is in the d-block, then this will be a transition metal.

The element with Z = 22 is titanium (Ti)
