Answer:

15 neutrons

Explanation:

the atomic mass shows the amount of neutrons and protons added together

the atomic number shows us how many protons they are (you can also find out how many electrons a element has by looking at its atomic number as it will have the same amount of protons)

so to find the amount of neutrons the sample has you have you subtract the atomic number which is the amount of protons from the mass number which tells us the amount of neutrons and protons added together but we only need the neutrons that's why we subtract it

33-18=15

Tcecarenko [31]

To solve this problem, we can simply calculate for the dose by multiplying the volume of solution containing Selenium 75 and the activity of the Selenium 75. That is:

dose = 4.1 mL * (45 μCi/mL)

dose = 184.5 μCi

The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation represent
Dafna1 [17]
The coefficients in a chemical equation represent the molar ratio of the substances.

For example, if an equation says 2H2 + O2 ⇒ 2H2O, it means
2 moles of H2 + 1 mol of O2 ⇒ 2 moles of H2O.

Since the number of atoms in a substance is so large , a unit to count them was created. This unit is the number of atoms in 12
larisa86 [58]

The number of atoms in one mole of any substance is measured by Avogadro's number. The value of Avogadro's number is 6.023 x 10 ^23. It is named after scientist Avogadro who proposed this number. 12 grams of carbon-12 represents 1 mole of carbon-12. For this reason, the number of atoms present in 1 mole of any substance is 6.023 x 10 ^23. Therefore, the number of atoms present in 1 mole carbon-12 is 6.023 x 10^23.


(Answer) This unit is the number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12 and known as Avogadro's number.
