Answer:
protons
Explanation:
An element, by definition, always has the same number of protons. Sodium, element 11, has 11 protons. Anything with 11 protons is a sodium atom, regardless of the number of neutrons, electrons, or politicians.
Answer:option A
Multiple reactants are used to form one product.
The artifact appears to have gone through 2 half-lives.
One half-life for Carbon-14 is 5730 years.
After 5730 years, there would be 1/2 as much carbon-14
After another 5730 years, there would be 1/4 as much carbon-14
The answer is roughly 11,460 years
Magnesium (Mg) has atomic number 12 with electronic configuration :

The valence shell of Mg is 3s which has 2 electrons as shown in above electronic configuration.
Therefore, A = 3 and B =2
