Answer is B) - neutrons.


Both protons and neutrons contribute to the mass of an atom. But ₈¹⁷O atom has atomic number as 8. Hence, number of protons is 8. Atomic mass of the given atom is 17.


Atomic mass = number of protons + number of neutrons


Hence, number of neutrons in the given atom is 17 - 8 = 9.


So, the number of neutrons is greater than the number of protons. Hence the greatest composition of ₈¹⁷O atom is neutrons by mass.

How a river rock layer overtime
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Most of the rocks exposed at the surface of Earth are sedimentary--formed from particles of older rocks that have been broken apart by water or wind. The gravel, sand, and mud settle to the bottom in rivers, lakes, and oceans. These sedimentary particles may bury living and dead animals and plants on the lake or sea bottom. With the passage of time and the accumulation of more particles, and often with chemical changes, the sediments at the bottom of the pile become rock. Gravel becomes a rock called conglomerate, sand becomes sandstone, mud becomes mudstone or shale, and the animal skeletons and plant pieces can become fossils.

it takes 60 days for 1024 grams of element XY to decay to 32 grams. what is the half life of element XY
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

The half life of element XY is 12 days

Explanation:

Given:

Time taken for  1024 grams to decay into 32 grams  = 60 days

To Find:

The half life of element XY = ?

Solution:

The Half life is calculated by

N = N_0 (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}

t_{\frac{1}{2}} =\frac{t}{log_{\frac{1}{2}}( \frac{N(t)}{N_0})}}

Substituting the values,

t_{\frac{1}{2}} =\frac{60}{log_{\frac{1}{2}}( \frac{32}{1024})}}

t_{\frac{1}{2}} =\frac{60}{log_{\frac{1}{2}}(0.03125)}}

t_{\frac{1}{2}} =\frac{60}{5}

t_{\frac{1}{2}} = 12
