Answer:
A. They have the same atomic numbers.
Explanation:
Elements are defined based on the atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus: this means that atoms of the same element have always the same number of protons in their nuclei (and so, always the same atomic number).
The other choices are wrong because:
B. They have the same average atomic masses. --> this is false for isotopes, which are atoms of the same element having a different number of neutrons. Since the atomic mass is calculated from the sum of the masses of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, two isotopes of the same element have different atomic mass
C. They have the same number of electron shells. --> this can be false when an atom of an element loses/gains an electron, becoming an ion: in that case, the number of electron shells can change, since the number of electrons has changed.
D. They have the same number of electrons in their outermost shells. --> this is also false in case one of the atoms is an ion, since the number of electrons is different.

Answer is A, it will pass through to focal point after reflecting.
Explanation:
I had the same question in a test, Sorry that you had to do this question in middle school.
Its called gauge pressure
Answer:
Explanation:
When 238U which is radioactive turns into 206Pb , it becomes stable and no further disintegration is done . Hence in the initial period ratio of 238U undecayed and 206Pb formed will be very high because no of atoms of 238U in the beginning will be very high. Gradually number of 238U undecayed will go down and number of 206Pb formed will go up . In this way the ratio of 238U and 206Pb in the mixture will gradually reduce to be equal to one or even less than one .
In the given option we shall calculate their raio
1 ) ratio of 238U and 206Pb = 5
2 ) ratio of 238U and 206Pb = 4
3 )ratio of 238U and 206Pb = 1
4 ) ratio of 238U and 206Pb = 20
5 )ratio of 238U and 206Pb = 3
lowest ratio is 1 , hence this sample will be oldest.
