Answer:

D- 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 8 electrons

Explanation:

A neutral atom is one in which the number of negative charges balances the number of positive charges.

<em>Positive charge component of atom is the proton</em>

<em>Negative charge component of an atom is the electron.</em>

Hence, for a neutral atom, number of proton = number of electron

Also, number of proton in an element = atomic number of the element

<em>Oxygen has atomic number of 8. Hence the number of proton is also equal to 8. In addition, since proton number = electron number for a neutral atom, the number of electron is also equal to 8.</em>

The correct answer is D.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

A substance that causes pigment particles to adhere (stick) to one another and remain attached to the surface of a painting is called a: binder.

<h3>What is painting?</h3>

Painting can be defined as a process that involves coating the surface of an object or body, especially through the application of a paint.

In painting, color is most notably and primarily provided by pigment.

<h3>What is a binder?</h3>

A binder can be defined as a substance that causes pigment particles to adhere (stick) to one another and remain attached to the surface of a painting.

In conclusion, a binder is a substance that makes it possible for pigment particles to stick completely together to one another and remain attached to the surface of a painting.

Find the kinetic energy of a ball of mass 200 grams moving at a speed of 20m/s​
Gelneren [198K]
We have a mass of 200g (0.2kg) moving at 20m/s

Kinetic Energy KE = ½ mv^2 where m is mass and v is velocity

Actually, v is a vector quantity, so KE = ½ mv•v

The dot product of 2 vectors a and b is abCosθ where θ is the angle between the vectors.

Obviously v•v = v^2 Cos0 = v^2

In this case, we have KE = ½ (0.2)(20^2) = 40kg-m^2/s^2 = 40J

So we have kinetic energy in the amount of 40 Joules.
