- Atoms that loss or gain electrons are called ions. There are two types of ions: cations and anions.
- Here, 2+ represents that Calcium (Ca) should gain 2 more electrons so that its number equals to that of protons.
- 3- represents that Nitrogen (N) should loss 3 electrons to equivalent with the number of protons.
- Here, anions are S^2-, P^3-, Se^2-, Br^-.
- While cations are Cr^3+, Ag^+, Li^+, Ba^2+.
- The number of protons of Magnesium (Mg) = 12
- The number of nuetrons of Mg = 12
- The number of electrons of Mg = 12
Hope you could get an idea from here.

D. Matter and energy are the same.
Actually, no. While their mass may be the same (1kg), the volume of lead is a lot smaller than that of feathers. As there is the same mass stuffed in a smaller space, it must be denser. The density of water is 1 g/cm3, so if the density of the lead is more than 1g/cm3, it has to sink
Answer:
The answer to your question is Argon
Explanation:
Electron configuration given 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶
To find the element whose electron configuration is given, we can do it by two methods.
Number 1. Sum all the exponents the result will give you the atomic number of the element.
2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 = 18
The element with an atomic number of 18 is Argon.
Number 2. Look at the last terms of the electronic configuration
3s² 3p⁶
Number three indicates that this element is in the third period in the periodic table.
Sum the exponents 2 + 6 = 8
Number 8 indicates that this element is the number 8 of that period without considering the transition elements.
The element with these characteristics is Argon.
