An element Y has 13 protons . with reference on Y answer these questions • •state the no of electrons and neutrons.
•what is the mass no
•how many valence electrons are there in y
•is it a metal\ non metal or noble gas
•what is its valency
•

Explanation:

Y has 13 protons and we know that Aluminium (Al) too has 13 protons.

So , element Y = Aluminium

• In an element , no. of protons = no. of electrons. So , Y has 13 electrons.

• Mass no. of Y (Aluminium) = 27.

• Also we know that ,

Mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

So,

No. of neutrons = 27 - 13 = 14

• Valence electrons are the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an element.

Electronic Configuration of Y = 2,8,3

So, Y has 3 valence electrons.

• We know that Y is Aluminium & Aluminium is a metal. So , Y is a metal.

• Valency of Y = +3

water at room temperature is flowing through a pipe with pressure taps located 10 ft apart along one section of the pipe, which are connected to a mercury (s=13.6) manometer.
