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! :)

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is "uranium-238".

Uranium-238, is the most abundant isotope of the element uranium. Uranium-238 has not enough nuclear force to balance electrostatic forces between protons, and as a result, it is a radioactive isotope and its losing energy because of the spontaneous breakdown of its atomic nucleus.

Explain the universal significance of producers (autotrophs) in ecosystems?
hodyreva [135]
Producers are called producers because when they take in carbon dioxide and water, and they produce glucose and oxygen. Animals need oxygen to survive and producers are the reason that all of the animals on earth haven't used up all the oxygen in the atmosphere. We need producers to survive, otherwise the Earth would be carbon dioxide rich and we humans couldn't breath it.

Georgia [21]
The answer is right below.

The bulk of this species’ diet consists of fish in the teleost infraclass, including dragonfish, rattails, anglerfish, and more. They are also known to feed on crustaceans and cephalopods like squid.

These sharks will prey on fish found both on the sea floor and in the water column. Because they are so slow moving, scientists believe these sharks are ambush predators. Their pinkish-red skin actually blends in when in the deep sea.
