What has 4 valence electrons, shows properties of metals and non metals, and has 32 protons in the nucleus of each atom

Here is your answer



REASON:

Elements which have 4 valence electrons are generally metalloids.

The metalloids show the properties of both metals and non-metals.

We know that,

no. of protons= Atomic number

So,

Atomic no.= 32

Hence,

The element is Germanium which is a metalloid with 4 valence electrons and has 32 protons in nucleus of each atom because it has atomic no. 32

HOPE IT IS USEFUL

the catch is that the top numbers are atomic masses the bottom numbers are the numbers of protons and electrons in an uncharged atom. they are the number of that atoms as you would find them on the periodic table. further, the numbers on the left are used to determine the missing numbers on the right

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z

answer

Noble gases is far right
