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.

Use the images to explain why carbon forms a bond with four chlorine atoms.
lina2011 [118]

Explanation:

The Lewis dot diagram shows how electrons participate in a bond with Carbon and Chlorine. This is shown by the sticks and the 2 paired electrons near the carbon atom which represent the bonds. These electrons form these bonds because they form octets when they are bonded which most molecules and compounds follow

Enthalpy of <br><br> CH4(g) + 2NO2(g) -&gt; N2(g) + CO2(g) + 2H2O(l)
stira [4]

Answer:

-177.9 kJ.

Explanation:

Use Hess's law. Ca(s) + CO2(g) + 1/2O2(g) → CaCO3(s) ΔH = -812.8 kJ 2Ca(s) + O2(g) → 2CaO(s) ΔH = -1269.8 kJ We need to get rid of the Ca and O2 in the equations, so we need to change the equations so that they're on both sides so they "cancel" out, similar to a system of equations. I changed the second equation. Ca(s) + CO2(g) + 1/2O2(g) → CaCO3(s) ΔH = -812.8 kJ 2CaO(s) → 2Ca(s) + O2(g) ΔH = +1269.8 kJ The sign changes in the second equation above since the reaction changed direction. Next, we need to multiply the first equation by two in order to get the coefficients of the Ca and O2 to match those in the second equation. We also multiply the enthalpy of the first equation by 2. 2Ca(s) + 2CO2(g) + O2(g) → 2CaCO3(s) ΔH = -1625.6 kJ 2CaO(s) → 2Ca(s) + O2(g) ΔH = +1269.8 kJ Now we add the two equations. The O2 and 2Ca "cancel" since they're on opposite sides of the arrow. Think of it more mathematically. We add the two enthalpies and get 2CaO(s) + 2CO2(g) → 2CaCO3(s) and ΔH = -355.8 kJ. Finally divide by two to get the given equation: CaO(s) + CO2(g) → CaCO3(s) and ΔH = -177.9 kJ.
