Identify the missing information for each atom or ion. Note that the atoms and ions are not necessarily neutral.

A Se ion has a mass number of 78 and a charge of −2 . Determine the number of neutrons, protons, and electrons in this ion.
number of neutrons:
number of protons:
number of electrons:

Number of neutrons: 44

Number of protons: 34

Number of electrons: 36

Explanation:

The atomic number of Se (Selenium) is 34

Mass number is 78

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 78 - 34 = 44

Number of protons is the same as the atomic number

Number of protons = 34

Selenium ion has a charge of -2. This means it accepts two more electrons

Number of electrons = atomic number + 2 = 34 + 2 = 36

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
