Convection currents drive the movement of Earth's rigid tectonic plates in the planet's fluid molten mantle. In places where convection currents rise up towards the crust's surface, tectonic plates move away from each other in a process known as seafloor spreading

Convection currents describe the rising, spread, and sinking of gas, liquid, or molten material caused by the application of heat. ... Tremendous heat and pressure within the earth cause the hot magma to flow in convection currents. These currents cause the movement of the tectonic plates that make up the earth's crust.

If an element has an atomic number of 20 and a mass number of 41, what is the :
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons

Explanation:

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:

20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

X  is Be

Y  is B

Z  is  O            

Explanation:

In order to understand the solution, we need to that the an element form a bond based on

1  The number of valence electron available in its atom

2 The  number of electron it require to attains its stable state i.e its Octet  state

        The number of valence electron for each of the option  are

                 F = 7,   N = 5 , O = 6 , C = 4 , B = 3 , Be = 2

 Considering the first element

           We see that  X is donating  two valence electron in its atom and it is donating it to 2  Cl as Cl  only requires a single electron to achieve its stable state

Now looking  option we can see that  Be has two valence  electron in it atom and in order for it to attain its stable state it needs to release the electron so the correct option for this question is Be

Considering the second  element              

      We see that  Y is donating  three valence electron in its atom and it is donating it to 3  Cl as Cl  only requires a single electron to achieve its stable state    

    Now looking  option we can see that  B has three valence  electron in it atom and in order for it to attain its stable state it needs to release the valence electron so the correct option for this question is B

Considering the second  element  

      We see that  Z is donating two valence electron in its atom and it is donating it to 2  Cl as Cl  only requires a single electron to achieve its stable state, also Z has 2 lone-pair valence electron

       Now looking at the option we can see that  O has 6 valence electron so if it donates 2 valence electron it will still be left with 4 - pair of electron

   Therefore the correct option to this question is  O
