Atoms are composed of protons, electrons, and neutrons. so, answer D can be discarded because it is not what atoms are made of. 

40 and 18 represent the atomic mass and atomic number respectively. the atomic number presents the number of protons. so there are 18 protons. the number of neutrons can be determined by taking the atomic mass minus the atomic number. neutrons= 40-18= 22 neutrons.

so the answer is B

Answer A may be correct if we assume the atom is neutral. in a neutral atom, the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons. but the electrons are not in the nucleus but orbiting it. the question specified the nucleus.

Convert 1.248×1010 g to each of the following units.
Leona [35]

Answer:

a) 1.248 x 10⁷ kg

b) 1.248 x 10⁴ Mg

c) 1.248 x 10¹³ mg

d) 1.248 x 10⁴ ton

Explanation:

a) Since 1000 g = 1 kg we can convert grams to kg by multiplyig any given quantity in grams by the conversion factor ( 1 kg / 1000 g):

1.248 x 10¹⁰ g * (1 kg / 1000 g) = 1.248 x 10⁷ kg

b) Since 1 Mg = 1 x 10⁶ g, the conversion factor will be ( 1 Mg / 1 x 10⁶ g):

1.248 x 10¹⁰ g * (  1 Mg / 1 x 10⁶ g) = 1.248 x 10⁴ Mg

c) Since 1 mg = 1 x 10⁻³ g, the conversion factor will be ( 1 mg / 1 x 10⁻³ g):

1.248 x 10¹⁰ g ( 1 mg / 1 x 10⁻³ g) = 1.248 x 10¹³ mg

d) Since 1 metric ton = 1000 kg and 1000 g = 1 kg, we can use these conversions factors: ( 1 kg / 1000 g) and (1 ton / 1000 kg):

1.248 x 10¹⁰ g * ( 1 kg / 1000 g) * ( 1 ton / 1000 kg) = 1.248 x 10⁴ ton

Hunter-Best [27]

The statement above is FALSE.

Temperature is the degree of coldness or hotness of a body while heat transfer is the transfer of thermal energy from one object to another object. Temperature tells us how cold or hot a body is and it can be measured in Celsius, Kelvin or Fahrenheit. The thermometer is the instrument that is used in the measurement of temperature. Change in temperature is an important indicator that is used in various ways in humans and external systems.
