Observe the drawing shown above. Use the drawing to complete the sentences below.

Question

7 Protons, 8 Neutrons, 10 electrons.

The atomic number of the substance shown in the drawing would be ________.

The substance in the drawing represents a ____________.

Choices: compound, mixture, charged ion, 7, 24, 14, 10, neutral atom, isotope

choose the correct answers

Answer 1

Based on the information given:

1. The atomic number of the substance is determined by the number of protons, which is 7. Therefore, the answer to the first sentence is 7.

2. Since the substance has 7 protons, 8 neutrons, and 10 electrons, it has more electrons than protons, which means it has a negative charge. Thus, the substance represents a charged ion.

So, the completed sentences are:

The atomic number of the substance shown in the drawing would be 7.

The substance in the drawing represents a charged ion.
