By changing the number of protons in an element, you are fundamentally changing it to a different element.
It’s worth remembering that:
Protons identify the element
Electrons determine properties and behavior of the element
Neutrons contribute to isotopes and just help keep everything stable, by separating the charges. Remember opposites attract. Like charges repel.
Yuri Oganessian has already discovered the next noble gas at atomic weight 118, (which is 86 plus 32). The next most likely, if ever encountered, should be 150 (which is 118 plus 32) or at 168 (which is 118 plus 32 plus 16).
Answer:
The options are unclear, however, the correct option is:
Aqueous solutions of ionic compounds cause to dissociate, hence, ions are free to conduct electricity
Explanation:
Ionic compounds are compounds formed from ions (charged atoms). For example, NaCl is an ionic compound from the following ions; Na+ (cation) and Cl- (anion). One characteristics of ionic compounds is their ability to dissociate into the ions that form them when in an aqueous solution i.e. NaCl will dissociate into Na+ and Cl- when in an aqueous solution.
These disssociated ions are free to conduct electricity, hence, making ionic compounds good conductors of electricity.
