Question 18 of 25 How is the atomic number related to core electrons?
O A. The atomic number is equal to the number of core electrons.
O B. The atomic number minus the period number is the number of
core electrons.
O C. The atomic number plus the group number is the number of core
electrons.
O D. The number of valence electrons plus core electrons is the atomic
number

D

Explanation:

If the atom is neutral, the sum of the core and valence electrons is the same as the number of protons, which is the atomic number of the element. So if the sum of the core and valence electrons in a neutral atom equals 25 , that is the number of protons in the atomic nucleus, and the atomic number of the element.
