Answer : The correct option is, 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 8 electrons

Explanation :

Neutral atom means the atom contains same number of electrons and protons and there is no charge on atom.

The given neutral atom is, oxygen

The atomic number of oxygen = 8

As we know that the atomic number is equal to the number of electrons and also equal to the number of protons.

Number of electrons = Number of protons = 8

The atomic mass of neutral oxygen atom = 16

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number = 16 - 8 = 8

Number of neutrons = 8

Therefore, the neutral atom of oxygen have 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 8 electrons.

What do you think causes a lunar eclipse? (Use your knowledge of solar eclipses and feel free to run the Gizmo to help you.)
zhenek [66]

Moon reflects the light frim the sun, thats why we are able to see it and it shines in the night. But, we know that Earth revolves around Sun and Moon revolves around Earth. During this revolution, Earth and Moon comes in a position when Earth is in the middle of the Moon and Sun. So, it blocks the light of Sun frim reaching Moon. Hence, we see no reflection and it causes Lunar eclipse.

Vitellium (Vi) has the following composition:
Dvinal [7]
Answer is: <span>C.)It will be closer to the mass of Vi–193.
</span><span>Average atomic mass of vitellium =
Ar(Vi-188) </span>· ω(Vi-188) + Ar(Vi-191) · ω(Vi-191) + Ar(Vu-193) · ω(Vi-193).
Average atomic mass of vitellium = 
187.9122 amu · 0,10861 + 190.9047 amu · 0,12428 + 192.8938 amu · 0,76711.
Average atomic mass of vitellium = 20,409 + 23,725 + 147,970.
Average atomic mass of vitellium = 192,104.
