Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An atom contains three sub-atomic particles namely protons, neutrons and electrons.

The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons only. Whereas electrons revolve around the nucleus. Protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge and electrons are negatively charged.

When an atom is neutral then number of protons equal the number of electrons. Hence, the atom becomes neutral as positive charge is equal to negative charge and thus gets cancelled.

Therefore, a nucleus can be either positively charged or neutral.

How to calculate moles
blondinia [14]

Explanation:

First you must calculate the number of moles in this solution, by rearranging the equation. No. Moles (mol) = Molarity (M) x Volume (L) = 0.5 x 2. = 1 mol.

For NaCl, the molar mass is 58.44 g/mol. Now we can use the rearranged equation. Mass (g) = No. Moles (mol) x Molar Mass (g/mol) = 1 x 58.44. = 58.44 g.

Why is it important to know what temperature scale is being used in a given situation?
Arisa [49]
It depends, for example, it is quite important to know the Kelvin scale (i.e 0 degrees Celsius is 273 K and -273 degrees Celsius is 0 K ) when dealing gases. But I don't know other situations where you would need to know other temperature scales.

Hope this helps and also if you are using Fahrenheit 1 Fahrenheit is -17.22 degrees Celsius

1 Mothers ages 8 years more than twice her daughter's
Anit [1.1K]
<h3>♫ :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: // Hello There ! //  :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ♫</h3>

➷  We can use the information to form an equation, which we can solve later

M = 2x + 8

Simply substitute the daughter's age into x:

M = 2(56) + 8

Now solve:

M = 120
