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.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

19) 3.6920 × 10⁻⁵

20) 4.059× 10²

21) 2.46810121416 × 10³

22)  1.0000× 10⁻³

Explanation:

Scientific notation is the way to express the large value in short form.

The number in scientific notation have two parts.

The digits (decimal point will place after first digit)

× 10 ( the power which put the decimal point where it should be)

For example:

0.000036920

In scientific notation =  3.6920 × 10⁻⁵

405.9

In scientific notation  = 4.059× 10²

2468.10121416

In scientific notation  = 2.46810121416 × 10³

0.0010000

In scientific notation  = 1.0000× 10⁻³
