<u>Answer:</u> The element is Fluorine.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Atomic mass is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

We are given:

Number of protons = 9 = Atomic number

Number of electrons = 9

Number of neutrons = 10

Mass number = 9 + 10 = 19

The element having atomic number equal to 9 and mass number equal to 19 is fluorine.

Hence, the element is Fluorine.

The correct answer is C.  We know this is true since the number of protons an atom has is its atomic number.  Since this atom  has 9 protons, look for the element on the periodic table that has an atomic number of 9.  The element that has an atomic number of 9 is flouring.

I hope this helps.

Water is found in lakes and rivers. Its purpose in nature is to hydrate animals

Hydrogen gas is not abundant in nature, but hydrogen is abundant in water. Hydrogen (bonds) help ice float. Otherwise, freezing lakes would kill animals (it actually doesn't since the ice creates a "coat" above the water").

Ammonia is nitrogen-rich molecules that plant uses to get their nitrogen. It comes from the part of the nitrogen cycle where dead plants and animals are decayed.

Carbon dioxide is what we exhale. Plants "inhale" carbon dioxide and use that for photosynthesis.

Hydrogen sulfide is emitted by volcanoes and by anaerobic (oxygen-less) decay from bacteria.

Have an awesome day! I hope this helps.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

The manner in which objects will move is determined by the answer to this question. Unbalanced forces will cause objects to change their state of motion

Explanation:

Since these two forces are of equal magnitude and in opposite directions, they balance each other.
