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! :)

Negative feedback is most like _____. A.an air conditioner that turns on if the temperature gets too hot B.adding wood to a burn
Harlamova29_29 [7]
<span>First, we need to clarify what negative feedback means. Negative feedback is a response that is fed back to the input and that tends to reduce the fluctuation of the output. Negative tries to confer stability to the system. So, you can see that the option B. cannot be because if you add more wood to a fire the fire will increase instead of extinguish. The option A implies a signal (from the high temperature) that starts the air conditioner, so it brings the system out of the equilibrium. The option C. indeed signals that the "full" signal es fed back and the organism will stop eating and so it reaches equilibrium. The answer is the option C. not eating any more when you are full.</span><span />
