Answer:
B. CA, 14
Explanation:
Atoms of elements contain small particles known as electrons, neutrons, and protons. The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons which are at the center of the atom. Electrons on the other hand surrounds the nucleus. Electron has negative charge while proton has a positive charge. The number of neutrons is equivalent to the number of protons . In addition, the number of protons is equal to mass number minus the number of electrons.
For the compound 
, it can be broken down into 
and 
. Its ion has a mass of 34 and 18 electrons which means it has already lost 2 electrons.
Therefore:
For the given element, the number of electrons is 18+2 = 20 electrons.
The number of protons = 34 - 20 = 14.
And the number of neutrons is 14.
Only option B has the correct answer.
Solid -(s)
liquid - (l)
gas - (g)
aqueous - (aq)
Answer:
There are 3600 pages to 2 significant figures
Explanation:
Working only with the information given, we have that there are 23 books each with about 31 chapters.
This means that if 1 book has 31 chapter, the 23 science books will have
31 X 23 chapters =713 chapters in total.
If each chapter contains 5 pages, for the 713 chapters we will have a total of 713 X 5 pages = 3565 pages.
Rounding off the answer to 2 significant figures , we are looking to have only two non-zero figures in our answer. To do this, we count two numbers from the left. This will be numbers 3 and 5.
Next, we check the net number after 5 to see if it is greater than 5 if it is, we will have to add the number (1 ) to the 5. This shows that we are approximating upwards, to account for the fact that that number has passed the middle point.
After this, we change the remaining two numbers (6 and 5) to zeroes.
This will give us 3600 pages.
