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.

The formula for a compound of Li₊ ions and Br_ ions is written LiBr. Why can't it be written Li₂Br? Why isn't it written BrLi?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

.

Explanation:

Lithium is in the first column of the periodic table, so it will have 1 valence electron.

Bromine is in the seventh column of the periodic table, so it will have seven valence electrons.

They must combine in a way to reach 8.

When combining elements to form compounds, the "crisscross method" is used. Above Li would be a charge of +1, and above Br would be a charge of -1.

Cross the 1 from the top of Li to the bottom of Br, and so there is 1 Br.

Cross the 1 from the top of Br to the bottom of Li, and so there is 1 Li.

It is not written BrLi because chemists decided to order them the other way. Technically speaking, it isn't wrong, but the positive charge is normally put on the left and the negative charge is normally put on the right.

Provide an example of a Food Chain.
VikaD [51]

Answer: Diamond is the name ^-^

A food chain only follows just one path as animals find food. eg: A hawk eats a snake, which has eaten a frog, which has eaten a grasshopper, which has eaten grass. A food web shows the many different paths plants and animals are connected. eg: A hawk might also eat a mouse, a squirrel, a frog or some other animal.

Hope this helps ^_^

chubhunter [2.5K]
