Answer: The correct options are:

1.) there are eight neutrons in the nucleus

2.) there are eight protons

Explanation:

Since, it is given that given atom of oxygen is electrically neutral and it contains 8 electrons. This also means that number of protons present in it will also be 8.

Hence, its atomic number that is, sum of only total number of protons present in the oxygen atom are also 8.

Whereas mass number or atomic mass is the sum of total number of both protons and neutrons present in an element.

For example, given atom has atomic number is 8.  And, it is known that atomic mass of O is 16 g/mol.

Therefore, number of neutrons present in it will be calculated as follows.

                    Mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                         16 = 8 + no. of neutrons

                    no. of neutrons = 16 - 8  

                                               = 8

Hence, we can conclude that in the given atom of oxygen there are 8 protons and 8 neutrons.

4. How many milligrams are in 5.25 x 10-13 kg?<br><br> the “-13” is an exponent
rusak2 [61]

5. 25 x 10⁻⁷mg

Explanation:

This is mass conversion from mg to kg;

The kg is a quantity of mass used to measure the amount of matter in a substance.

   Given mass = 5.25 x 10⁻¹³kg

The kilo-  is a prefix that denotes 10³

  therefore;

         1000g = 1kilogram

 the milli-  is a prefix that denotes 10⁻⁻³

       1000mg = 1g

Now that we know this, we can convert:

   5.25 x 10⁻¹³kg  x \frac{1000g}{1kg}  x \frac{1000mg}{1g}   =  5. 25 x 10⁻¹³ x 10⁶mg

      =  5. 25 x 10⁻⁷mg
