Answer:

B. 18

Explanation:

An atom, which is the smallest indivisible particle of matter, further contains certain particles called SUB-ATOMIC PARTICLES namely: proton, neutron and electron. In a neutral/uncharged atom, the number of proton is equal to the number of electrons. The number of protons in an atom represent its ATOMIC NUMBER.

However, the sum of the proton number and neutron number gives the MASS NUMBER i.e. mass no. = proton no. + electron no.

Hence, according to this question which states that an atom has an atomic number of 17 and a mass number of 35. The neutron no. can be calculated as follows:

Neutron no. = mass no. - proton no.

Neutron no. = 35 - 17

Neutron no. = 18

Can you list the types of organisms in order in which they would appear during primary succession?
nignag [31]

Answer:

Primary succession is one type of the ecological succession which takes place on the land devoid of vegetation or barren land.

The species which first flourishes on this barren land are known as pioneer species which includes the species of bryophytes and pteridophytes like lichens and mosses.

These lichens and mosses help breakdown the barren rocks through chemical leaching and help increase the nutrient content. This allows the ferns and small pteridophytes to grow.  

Then the area is colonized by the intermediate species which includes herbs, shrubs later trees. These intermediate species help attract the animals and thus help establish the biological community.

Thus, Lichens mosses → herbs→ shrubs →trees.
