Explanation:
Atoms never gain protons; they become positively charge only by losing electrons. A positive ion is called a cation (pronounced: CAT-eye-on). You may have notice that the number of neutrons in each of these ions was not specified.
Yes, S-blocks are metals except for helium and hydrogen. The S-block metals are shiny, silvery and relatively soft, although they can easily lose electrons. Helium and hydrogen have valence electrons but also lack some similar properties as the other metals.
The nuclear reaction that occurs by combining two or more lighter atoms into a larger one is called nuclear fusion. As a result of this reaction a huge amount of energy is released.
Nuclear fission is the opposite process of nuclear fusion when the atom splits into several smaller atoms.
The mass number of an atom : 26
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
12 protons, 14 neutrons, and 12 electrons
Required
The mass number
Solution
Inside the atom there are 3 sub-particles, namely protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and electrons are present in the atomic nucleus while electrons move around the atomic nucleus through energy levels in the atomic shell
Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons
Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
Input the value :
Mass number = 12 + 14
Mass number = 26
The chemical properties of an element are largely determined by its <span>number of valence electrons. The answer is letter D. The rest of the choices do not answer the question above.</span>
