Answer:

In the given case, the atomic number of the given atom is 15, hence its nucleus contains 15 protons. The number of protons and electrons are the same in atom and that is what keeps it neutral. In the second case, the atomic number is 20. Hence, the atom will contain a total of 20 protons in its nucleus.

Answer:

Bye the way, u welcome ;)

In heat transfer by radiation, energy is carried by electromagnetic waves from a starting point to the space surrounding it and does not involve contact with matter. The other forms of heat transfer cannot produce any of the energy that arrives to Earth through the vacuum of space.

A metal ion (X) with a charge of 4+ is attracted to non metal ion (Z) with a charge of 3-. Which of these formulas represents th

pav-90 [236]

Answer: $X_3Z_4$

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here metal X is having an oxidation state of +4 called as $X^{4+}$ cation and $Z^{3-}$ is an anion with oxidation state of -3. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $X_3Z_4$
