Interpretation:
Atom or ion given in the figure should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Nucleus of an atom contains positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons. In a neutral atom, number of protons and number electrons are same. Number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is called Atomic number. When forming ions, main group elements lose or gain electrons to achieve the electronic configuration of the noble gas nearest to it in the periodic table. This makes that particular atom electronically stable.
