Answer:

Protons = 50

Mass number = 119

Explanation:

A neutral of tin, Sn, has a Z value of 50 and neutrons are 69.

Z is the atomic number. The atomic number is equal to number of protons or number of electrons in an atom that is neutral i.e:

Z = PROTONS = ELECTRONS

So the number of protons = 50 since Z is 50

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>¦

The bulk of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus. To calculate mass number, we simply sum all the elementary particles in the nucleus i.e protons and neutrons. These particles are called the nucleons.

Mass number (A) = P + N

= 50 + 69

= 119

Yuri [45]
Longitudinal waves have energy that vibrates parallel to the medium - a compression is the region of greatest density and the rarefaction the region of highest density .The rarefaction (much like the maximum amplitude in a transverse wave) has a region of lowest density, typically situated in the exact center of the region.

A rubber ducky is placed 20 cm from a thin convex lens with a focal length of 15 cm. Which statement correctly describes the nat
blondinia [14]
I believe the answer is B, a real and inverted image is formed on the side of the lens opposite the rubber ducky. The focal length is 15 cm and therefore the center of curvature (2F) will be 30 cm. When the object is placed between F and 2F (in this case 20 cm) in front of a convex lens, an inverted, real image is formed on the other side of the lens.
