Answer:
The number of protons is equal to the mass number of the element. Since an element always has a different number of protons, the mass can indicate how many neutrons are in an isotope. Atoms of the same element can have a different number of neutrons. There are three naturally-occurring isotopes of carbon.
Explanation:
E=mc (square) E= mass times capacity squared
If the grade of the ore is 37.3% nickel, then the unknown quantity to get 10 grams of nickel is 0.373 x = 10 grams or x = 10/0.373=26.8 grams or 0.0268 kg needed to dig up to recover the 10 grams of nickel. At this grade of ore, 1 kilogram would yield 373 grams of nickel.
I believe the answer is c
The statement that correctly compares protons, electrons, and neutrons is, "Quarks are present in protons and neutrons but not in electrons". Quarks are tiny particles which compose the neutrons and protons. These quarks in protons and neutrons are linked together by gluons.
