How many neutrons does element's x have if it's atomic number is 52 and it's mass number is 153?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer: 101 neutrons

An element's atomic number is the number of protons in its nucleus. X has 52 protons. The mass number is simply the number of protons AND neutrons in the nucleus. Since 52 is given, it's correct to assume that the remainder consists of neutrons. 153-52 will give you the number of neutrons.

Hope this helps! :)

In some individuals, the immune system attacks substances such as grass pollen that are usually harmless, resulting in

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

An allergic reaction

Explanation:

An allergic reaction occurs when our immune system misinterprets a harmless substance into a harmful antigen and initiate an over-expressed immune response against it. Some of these allergic substances are pollen, molds, insect stings, etc.

These allergens trigger the production of IgE antibodies in the body which interact with different cell and initiate the release of chemicals like histamine that cause symptoms of allergic reaction.

It can affect the nose, skin, lung, stomach lining, etc. Therefore the correct answer is an allergic reaction.

In corn, small pollen (sp) is recessive to normal pollen (sp+) and banded necrotic tissue, called zebra necrotic (zn), s ssive t

alex41 [277]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Please see the attached image

Given -

Allele for small pollen is "sp"

Allele for normal pollen is "sp+"

and "sp+" is dominant over "sp"

Allele for zebra necrotic tissue is "zn"

Allele for normal necrotic tissue is "zn+"

and "zn+" is dominant over "zn"

Cross is carried out between

sp+ sp zn+ zn x sp+ sp zn+ zn

The gametes of the parent cells are -

sp+ zn+, sp+zn, spzn+, spzn

The cross would be as follows

sp+ zn+ sp+zn spzn+ spzn

sp+ zn+ sp+ sp+ zn+ zn+sp+ sp+ zn+ znsp+ sp zn+ zn+ sp+ spzn+ zn

sp+zn sp+ sp+ zn+ znsp+ sp+ zn znsp+ sp zn+ zn sp+ sp zn zn

spzn+ sp+ sp zn+ zn+sp+ sp zn+ znsp sp zn+ zn+ sp sp zn+ zn

spzn sp+ sp zn+ zn sp+ sp zn zn sp sp zn+ zn sp sp zn zn

Hence, option B is correct

Question 5

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The solubility of a gas in a liquid occurs faster if the liquid is cooled. Hence the correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

The solubility of a gas in a liquid occurs faster than a solid. Solid solute takes much time to be dissolved in a solvent. This is because of the bonding. The bond of the solid is is much stronger when compared to the gaseous state. This is one of the reasons of gaseous dissolving faster than solid.

A gaseous state is defined as a material whose atoms are not closely attached with one another and is free to move in any direction. And when we have to mix gas in a liquid in a faster rate the liquid temperature should be lowered.
