Answer:

A. 10

Explanation:

The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons is equal to the difference between the mass number of the atom (M) and the atomic number (Z).

(N) Neutrons = 10

(M) Atomic Mass = 20

(Z) Atomic Number = 10

Z + __ = M

10 + __ = 20

10 + 10 = 20

  • infrared
  • x-ray astronomy

<h3>What is Astronomy?</h3>

This refers to the study of heavenly bodies and space and other things that space is made up of.

Hence, we can see that the reason why it is so difficult to determine the shape of our galaxy is that astronomers can only infer its presence from the motions of stars in the galaxy, and a precise shape is difficult to be determined.
