Answer:
C and D
Explanation:
In the first table, both element particles have more electrons than protons which is unusual and indicates they have a negative charge. Furthermore both numbers add up to full electron shells (2,8 and 2,8,8) meaning they are ions (charged particles formed to gain full valence shells and become stable), so it is C for the first question, negative ions.
As for the second one, isotopes like versions of the same element except with different numbers of neutrons, so they are still the same element but have different mass. As shown here the numbers indicate the number of neutrons therefore it is D, 3 more neutrons and no more electrons.
Hope this helped!
Answer: 18
Justification:
1) The most common ion of calcium is Ca 2+
2) That means that the atom, neutral calcium, has lost two electrons.
3) The atomic number of calcium is 20.
4) Atomic number is the number of protons, so calcium has 20 protons.
5) Therefore, the neutral atom of calcium also has 20 electrons (to make a net charge of zero).
6) Then, the ion Ca 2+ has 20 - 2 = 18 electrons.
Answer: 18 electrons.
