Answer:

O₈¹⁷

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other.

In given statement there are 8 electrons it means the atomic number of given atom is 8 so it would oxygen. The atomic mass of oxygen is 16 while in given statement mass is 17 it means it is the isotope of oxygen that have one more neutron than oxygen 16.

Isotope of an element have same atomic number but different atomic mass due to different number of neutrons.

Why does the fact that Americans are using less fertilizer not indicate a decline in American farming?
meriva
It shows that the population is moving towards a more organic and natural way of growing crops. Rather than using fertilizer and putting toxins on the plants that we eat from, we are getting smarter and growing food naturally. Thus not killing ourselves in the process.

What elements are in NaC2HO4 and how many atoms are in each element​
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Each molecule contains one atom of A and one atom of B. The reaction does not use all of the atoms to form compounds.

                 A + B ⟶ Product

Particles: 6      8              6

If six A atoms form six product molecules, each molecule can contain only one A atom.

The formula of the product is ABₙ.

If n = 1, we need six atoms of B.

If n = 2, we need 12 atoms of B. However, we have only eight atoms of B, so the formula of the product must be AB.

Thus, 6A + 6B ⟶ 6AB, with two B atoms left over.
