xygen is 8.)
Select one:
a. 8p+; 8n; 6e−
b. 8p+; 10n; 8e−
c. 7p+; 10n; 10e−

The correct answer is d. 8p+; 9n; 10e−

Oxygen exists in three isotopes ¹⁶O, ¹⁷O and ¹⁸O. The atomic number of oxygen is 8. It means its nuclei has 8 protons. The given is oxide⁻² anion. This means it has gained 2 electrons. Thus, oxide anion have 8 protons and 10 (8+2) electrons. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope, in this question mass number is given¹⁷O. The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Hence, number of neutrons oxide anion will be 17-8 = 9 neutrons.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

easy to produce, affordable, abundant​

Explanation:

A non-renewable resource is defined as the natural resources which are not ereadily replaced through natural means and it takes thousands of years for their renewal. Example of non-renewable resource include Fossil fuels such as natural gas, oil and coal.

<u>There are many advantages of non-renewable resources such as:</u>

1) Easy to produce: non-renewable resources are easy to produce because processing stations can be easily developed for refinement and distillation of non-renewable resources.

2) Affordable and abundant: non-renewable resources are affordable and abundant in the earth. for example diesel and oil are good choices for powering vehicles.

Hence, the correct options are easy to produce, affordable, abundant​.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Option B, Rr pp × rr Pp

Explanation:

Given

Walnut Comb is produces when  one dominant allele R is present at one gene locus and at least one dominant allele P is present at a second gene locus - R* P*

Rose Comb - at least one dominant allele is present at the first locus and two recessive alleles are present at the second locus - R* pp

Pea comb - two recessive alleles are present at the first locus and at least one dominant allele is present at the second  - rr P*

Single comb - two recessive alleles are present at the first and the second locus  - rrpp

Parent are rose combed and pea combed

For being rose genotype must be R* pp

and for being pea combed genotype must be rr P*

Rr pp x rr Pp

will  produce

Walnut comb  with genotype Rr Pp

Single comb  with genotype rrpp

and pea comb  with genotype rrPp

Hence, option B is correct
