1. d
2. b
3. d
4. e
5. a
explanation:
there's nothing else to explain
2 and 3, because there are the protons and neutrons which have a greater mass than the electrons which are found in the locations 1 and 4.
Explanation:
The atom contains a nucleus, which is made from protons and neutrons, and electrons which are found around the nucleus.
The mass of the atoms is concentrated in the very tiny space represented by the nucleus. Of course the electrons have a mass too, but is very small compared to the protons and neutrons, and we usually neglect its mass.

First, let's find the number of neutrons in Calcium-40. to find the number of neutrons, you need to take the atomic mass minus atomic number
neutrons in Calcium---> 40 - 20 (atomic number) = 20 neutrons
potassium-40---> 40- 19= 21
scandium-44----> 44- 21= 23
argon-38---------> 38- 18= 20
chlorine-36------> 36- 17= 19
the answer is argon-38
Answer:
One of the bonds in nitrate is shorter than the other two.
Explanation:
We would firstly need to draw the Lewis structure for nitrate anion. To do this, let's follow the standard steps:
- calculate the total number of valence electrons: five from nitrogen, each oxygen contributes 6, so a total of 18 from oxygen atoms, as well as one from the negative charge, we have a total of 24 valence electrons;
- assign the central atom, usually this is the atom which is single; in this case, we have nitrogen as our central atom;
- assign single bonds to all the terminal atoms (oxygen atoms);
- assign octets to the terminal atoms and calculate the number of electrons assigned;
- the number of electrons assigned is 24, so no lone pairs are present on nitrogen;
- calculate the formal charges: each oxygen has a formal charge of -1 (formal charge is calculated subtracting the sum of lone pair electrons and bonds from the number of valence electrons of that atom); nitrogen has a formal charge of +2;
- nitrogen doesn't have an octet as well, so we'll both minimize its formal charge and make it obtain an octet if we make one double bond N=O.
Therefore, we may have 3 resonance structures, as this double bond might be formed with any of the 3 oxygen atoms.
By definition, double bonds are shorter than single ones, so one of the bonds is shorter than the other two.
