Atomic mass is the sum of neutrons and protons, and atomic number is the number of protons.
Therefore, 92-25 = 67.

67 neutrons.

Sidenote:
Electrons are not considered in atomic mass since they weigh way too little

How many covalent bonds can carbon make?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

Carbon has four valence electrons, so it can achieve a full outer energy level by forming four covalent bonds. When it bonds only with hydrogen, it forms compounds called hydrocarbons. Carbon can form single, double, or triple covalent bonds with other carbon atoms.

While Mitosis produces 2 identical cells for growth, repair and replacement, what is the purpose of Meiosis? (Choose 3) a keepin
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Answer is D.Produce non-identical genetically different gametes and reduction of chromosomes,creating a haploid gamete.

Explanation:

Meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction.In humans diploid gamete-mother cells or germ line undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes.

The chromosomes pairs of each parent undergo crossing over during meiosis.so daughter cells i.e gametes have genetic variations.When gametes  fuse and form zygote ,its genetic make up is different from both parents.thus meiosis allows a species to bring variations in next generations.Benenficial variations help organisms to adapt to the changes in environment.

What is the difference of substances with covalent and hydrogen bonds
julia-pushkina [17]

A hydrogen bond is formed when a positively polarized hydrogen atom in one molecule is attracted to a highly electronegative atom in another molecule. In the example of water molecules, the negatively charged oxygen atom in one water molecule attracts the positively charged hydrogen atom in another water molecule. Oxygen atoms tend to steal electrons away from the hydrogen atoms within molecules. When this occurs within a water molecule, the electron loss creates a hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge, which is then attracted to a negatively charged oxygen atom in another water molecule.

The hydrogen bonds that form between water molecules cause them to stick together. This gives water a high boiling point temperature because a greater degree of heat energy is required to break the intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Many organic substances that are required to sustain life, such as nucleic acids and proteins, contain hydrogen bonds. Although these bonds are weaker than the internal ionic or covalent bonds existing between the atoms within molecules, the accumulated strength of hydrogen bonds within living organisms is highly significant and plays an important role in maintaining stability.
