Answer:

Argon's atoms have 18 protons, 22 neutrons in its nucleus, orbited by 18 electrons- its atomic mass= P 18 +N 22.

Explanation:

Atoms are the most basic unit of matter that makes up elements. Atoms are composed of electrons orbiting neutrons and protons surrounding a nucleus.

The atomic number is defined as the number of protons in an atom, while the atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons.

The element Argon, Ar is a noble gas, that exists in a gaseous, inert, state at temperature. Its atoms have 18 protons, 22 neutrons in its nucleus, orbited by 18 electrons- its atomic mass= P 18 +N 22.

There are 8 valence electrons in its outer shell, thus:

  • Ar is not very reactive, as it does not require electron sharing in atomic bonding.
  • It shows low conductivity, as there are no free electrons

Answer:

<u>C. Earth</u>

And of course, we all know the sun isn't rocky, and it doesn't have mountains or valleys. That's why my answer is <u>C. Earth</u>.

Where are the ovules stored?
Alina [70]
The style is the long tube that attaches the stigma to the ovary. Sperm from the pollen will travel down this tube to the ovules. The ovules, or eggs, are stored in the ovary until they are fertilized. Plants can only fertilize eggs of the same species.
