The number of protons within the atom's nucleus is called atomic number and is equal to the number of electrons in any neutral atom. each atomic number identifies a specific element, but not the a) cation. b) ion. c) isotope. d) molecule,

the answer is actually isotope (took the usa test prep test)

Explanation:

Isotope- Each atomic number identifies a specific element and the number of protons and electrons. The atomic number does no identify the isotope, which may have a variety of neutrons: c-12 and C-1 are examples.

(this is the explanation they gave)

because it says use -2,0,and 2 for x, we can plug those numbers into the equation. y/4=3/4(-2)+2   y/4= -1 1/2 +2 now to get x by itself, we can multiply each side by 4. y=-6+8 which equals y=2 when x=-2. now you can do the same thing with 0 and 2 as x. you get y=8 when x=0 and y=14 when x=2.

x   |   y

-2 |   2

0   |   8

2   |   14
