How many molecules are in 12.0 liters of sulfur dichloride?

The question is incomplete. complete question is attached belowanswer: correct answer is option b  i.e.  solid particles  reason: filter paper has small pores, through which smaller particles can pass through. however, solid particles  have relatively larger size. hence, they are least likely to pass through.

Well you can immediately rule out a and d because if a metal were to lose or gain protons, then it would become a different element all together. the answer here is b because the positive symbol with a number refers to how many electrons the metal can give away to become stable.
