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.

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of reactants will be equal to the mass of the products. The mass of products and reactants will only differ during a nuckear reaction
Changing of the physical state of water is not a nuclear reaction. So becoz of that the mass will remain constant without any change.

The. bond dissociation enthalpies of the H-H bond and the H-Cl bond are 435 kJ mol^-1 and 431 kJ mol^-1, respectively. The ΔHfO
Novay_Z [31]

The bond dissociation energy of the Cl - Cl bond is -958 kJ mol^-1.

<h3>What is the dissociation enthalpy?</h3>

Given that;

H-H bond energy =  435 kJ mol^-1

H-Cl bond energy = 431 kJ mol^-1

ΔHfO of HCL(g) = -92kJ mol^-1

Bond dissociation enthalpy of the Cl-Cl bond = x

-92 = 435  +  431 + x

x = -92 - (435  +  431)

x = -958 kJ mol^-1
