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.

sergeinik [125]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The structural level of a protein least affected by a disruption in hydrogen bonding is the primary level. The other levels are very much affected by hydrogen bonding. Hope this answers the question.

The decomposition of acetaldehyde is a second order reaction with a rate constant of 4.71 10−8 L/mol/s. What is the instantaneou
pochemuha

Answer: Rate of decomposition of acetaldehyde in a solution is 1.45\times 10^{-14}mol/Ls

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

For a reaction : A\rightarrow products

Rate=k[A]^x

k= rate constant

x = order of the reaction = 2

Rate=4.71\times 10^{-8}L/mol/s\times {5.55\times 10^{-4}M}^2

Rate=1.45\times 10^{-14}

Thus rate of decomposition of acetaldehyde in a solution is 1.45\times 10^{-14}mol/Ls

The compound 1-butene is modeled here. What would need to happen for molecules of this compound to transform into polybutene? A.
kompoz [17]
In order to form polymers, we need to chain molecules together. This involves making bonds between them.

Shifting H’s around doesn’t accomplish anything.

Forming more double bonds will have the opposite result, as it would make the molecules more stable and less likely to react with each other.

Adding oxygen to the molecule no longer makes it polybutene. That would likely result in the formation of some sort of ether, as hey would react to form a C-O-C Bond.

The only answer left is A. In order to form polyalkenes, we have to break a double bond so that it’s available to form more covalent bonds.

Hope this helps
