The drug has a concentration of 6 mg per 1 ml. Therefore, to know that number of ml containing 25 grams, we will simply do cross multiplication as follows:
amount of drug = (25 x 1) / 6 = 4.1667 ml
Therefore, for the patient to receive 25 mg of methimazole, he/she should take 4.1667 ml of the drug solution.
In an atom, the number of neutrons determines most specifically the isotopes of an element.
<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>An atom </h3>
- An atom is defined as the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
- Atoms are made of energy shells and the inner nucleus.
- It is also made up of subatomic particles, protons and neutrons.
<h3>Neutrons </h3>
- They are sub-atomic particles in an atom that are found in the nucleus of an atom. They have a zero charge or no charge.
- Neutrons are slightly heavier than protons.
- The number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus of an atom results to the atomic mass number of an atom. Like protons they only take part in nuclear reactions.
<h3>Protons</h3>
- Protons are subatomic particles that are found in the nucleus of an atom. They are positively charged. with a charge of +1.
- The number of protons differ from one element to another and thus used as the atomic number of an individual element.
- The nucleus of an atom is positively charged due to the positive charge of the protons.
- Additionally, protons do not take part in chemical reactions but in nuclear reactions.
<h3>Electrons </h3>
- They are found orbiting the nucleus on energy shells based on Clouds’ theory. Electrons are negatively charged each with a charge of -1.
- The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atom are equal. Additionally they have the least mass of the three sub-atomic particles.
- Electrons are the only sub-atomic particles that take part in chemical reactions.
<h3>Isotopes </h3>
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same mass number but different atomic number.
<h3>Mass number;</h3>
- Mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of an element.

You should edit the Axis Titles to include the name of the factor and any units associated with it. Double-click on the Axis numbers to bring up the Format Axis dialog, then click on the bar-graph icon to access Axis Options. Set the bounds and units appropriately and set the tick marks to something sensible.</span><span>
