For an atom, the atomic number is equal to number of protons and number of electrons. Mass number is sum of number of protons and neutrons in nucleus of an atom. Atomic number is denoted by symbol Z and mass number is denoted by symbol A.

The atomic number of strontium is Z=38 and mass number is A=90.

Now, Z=n_{p}=n_{e}=38

Also, A=n_{p}+n_{n}=90

Putting the value of n_{p} in above equation,

A=38+n_{n}=90

Or,

n_{n}=90-38=52

Thus, number of neutrons are 52.

Now, after losing two electrons, number of protons and neutrons remains the same but number of electrons becomes 38-2=36

Therefore, a strontium-90 atom that has lost 2 electrons has <u>38</u> protons, <u>52</u> neutrons and <u>36</u> electrons.

A person with a body temperature of 37°C holds an ice cube with a temperature of 0°C in a room where the air temperature is 20.°
Arlecino [84]
The answer is (2). Heat always flows down the temperature gradient, from high temperature to low temperature. Therefore, since the person is the warmest, heat flows from the person to both the ice and the air. Additionally, since the air is warmer than the ice, heat flows from the air to the ice.
