Each atom has three atomic particles, which are electron, neutron and proton. The number of proton an atom has determines its atomic number. For an atom to be neutral, the number of proton and electron must be equal.
Mass number is defined as the summation of proton and neutron in an atom.
For the question given above, the number of proton is 45, because the atomic number is 45 and the number of electron too is 45.
To find the number of neutron; Mass number = proton + neutron
Neutron number = Mass number - proton number
Neutron number = 156 - 45 = 111.
Therefore the number of neutron in element X is 111.

Compare the physical and chemical properties of salt and sugar. what properties do they share?
pentagon [3]
There are a number of properties that both sugar and salt share. First would be that both compounds exist as solid at standard temperature and pressure. Being in a solid form, they also have crystalline structures, colorless and are odorless. Also, from research, both has certain degree of antimicrobial properties as they are being used for preservation of food products and for treating of wounds and illnesses. Another would be that both are being used as flavor enhancers in cooking. Due to their applicability, these compounds are the two of the major production industries in many countries across the globe.
