V3+ find the number of protons and electrons

Explanation:

Atomic number of Vanadium is 23 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 8, 5. And, we know that when an atom has a positive charge then it means electrons have been lost by the atom.

As the given Vanadium atom has a charge of +3 which means that 3 electrons have been lost by Vanadium. Hence, electronic configuration of Vanadium in both neutral and ionic form are as follows.

Neutral state:

Ionic state ():

When an atom is neutral then its number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.

Hence, we can conclude that in number of protons is 23 and number of electrons is 20.

the dependant variable is spilled water

the independent is the heat
