Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number is the sum of only total number of protons present in an element. Whereas mass number or atomic mass is the sum of total number of both protons and neutrons present in an element.

For example, given atom has atomic number is 8.  And, it is known that atomic mass of O is 16 g/mol.

Therefore, number of neutrons present in it will be calculated as follows.

                    Mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                         16 = 8 + no. of neutrons

                    no. of neutrons = 16 - 8  

                                               = 8

Hence, we can conclude that in the given isotope of oxygen-16 there are 8 protons and 8 neutrons.

Anomalous data shows on a graph as a
KiRa [710]
Anomalous data on a graph would show up as say a very high or very low value which does not fit in with the normal values which may be background values.If it was a straight line graph then the anomalous point would plot well above or below the line or if it was a bar graph ie a histogram it would be much higher or lower than the surrounding data. In mineral exploration, anomalies are looked for in say geophysics or geochemistry data values for high or low magnetism or conductivity or high chemical values indicating the presence of valuable minerals at that point.

erik [133]
<h2>Answer </h2>

Matter

<u>Explanation </u>

A matter has distinct properties and composition that never vary. The matter is anything which possesses mass and occupies space. The matter has different characteristics and a distribution that does not change from unit to unit. Materials which cannot be disintegrated into simpler materials. Each is made of only one kind of atom in subatomic level. For example, a chair, table, and similar everything that has mass and occupies space is matter.
