Answer:
phosphorus.
Explanation:
The atomic number of phosphorus is 15 so the protons will be 15.
The element iodine (I) is important for the fast and hastened metamorphosis of frog-tadpoles. As amphibians, the tadpoles can live in water and land but when they are born they are iodine-deficient. Tadpoles that do not receive ample amount of iodine become tadpoles until the end of their days.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
looking at a periodic table X is fluorine and Y is potassium
Fluorine is in group 7 and forms a 1- charge (which gains electrons) and potassium is in group 1 and forms a 1+ charge (which loses electrons)
Fluorine (X) has an electronic structure of 2,7 and needs to gain an electron from Potassium (Y) to have a full outer shell and potassium has an electronic structure of 2,8,8,1 so needs to lose an electron to have a full outer shell as well. This means that the electron that potassium (Y) has lost is given away to fluorine (X), so both elements become stable.
This is known as ionic bonding where metals (like potassium) lose electrons and non-metals (like fluorine) gain electrons to become more stable, forming ions
