Height is defined as the distance from the bottom to the top of something or the highest point or the greatest degree. An example of height is 5'8". An example of height is the top of Mount Everest.
atoms are made of 3 types of subatomic particles; electrons, protons and neutrons
atomic number is the number of protons. atomic number is characteristic for the element. In ground state atoms, the number of electrons and protons are the same.
the electronic configuration of Ca in the ground state is
Ca - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s²
when Ca loses its 2 valence electrons, it becomes positively charged and the electronic configuration becomes
Ca - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶
number of electrons in Ca²⁺ is 18
the atom in the ground state would have the same number of electrons and protons. Therefore number of protons are 18. then the atomic number of the element is 18
the atom having an atomic number of 18 is Ar.
the answer is 1) Ar
The electron is a subatomic particle that has a negative charge and a negligible mass. The electron travels around out side the nucleus.
The subatomic particles that are inside the nucleus are protons and neutrons.
The answer to your question is electron.
