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.

1. Consider the decomposition reaction of sodium chlorate. There are 100 grams of
IRINA_888 [86]
A. NaCl(s) and O2(g)

B. 2NaClO3(s) —> 2NaCl(s) + 3O2(g)

C. moles NaClO3 = 100 g / 106.44 g/mol = 0.939 mol NaClO3

D. 0.939 mol NaCl (because the NaClO3 and NaCl are in a 1 to 1 ratio)

E. grams NaCl = 0.939 mol • 58.44 g/mol = 54.9 g NaCl

F. moles of O2 = 0.939 mol NaClO3 • (3 mol O2 / 2 mol NaClO3) = 1.41 mol O2

G. grams of O2 = 1.41 mol • 32 g/mol = 45.1 g O2

H. Percent yield = 10/45.1 • 100% = 22.2% yield

What is the velocity of a 0.5-kg ball<br> that has a momentum of 3 kg.m/s?
maria [59]

Answer:

6m/s

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Mass = 0.5kg

Momentum = 3 kg.m/s

Velocity =.?

Momentum is simply the product of mass and velocity as shown by the equation below:

Momentum = Mass x Velocity

Velocity = Momentum /mass

Velocity = 3kg.m/s / 0.5kg

Velocity = 6m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the ball is 6m/s

When two atoms are bonded and have a large difference in electronegativity:<br> HELP PLEASEEE
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Second option - The bond is very polar

Explanation:

Electronegativity of an basically refers to the degree at which an electron is able to attract electrons to itself.

There are different types of bonds between atoms, depending on the electronegativity of the atoms.

When there is a large difference in electronegativity, it pretty much means that one atom would draw electrons more than the other. When this happens, the bond is said to be polar because there is uneven distribution of the charges.

The second option is the correct answer in thus question.

The spectrum of the combined chloro and aqua cobalt complex solutions tells you_______________.
andre [41]

Answer:The purple color is due to a mixture of the pink aqua complex and blue chloro complex and is not due to a new species.

Explanation:

The pink aqua complex of cobalt can be in equilibrium with blue chloro complex of cobalt giving rise to a purple colour. This equilibrium is governed by Le Chaterliers principle. A change in chloride or water concentration could shift the equilibrium towards any of the species causing its colour to become the dominant colour of the solution.
