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

A group of scientists is studying the internal parts of a cell. Which microscope is most appropriate for these scientists to use
Lady bird [3.3K]
The most appropriate microscope for studying the internal parts of the cell is ELECTRON MICROSCOPE. The correct option is B.
Electron microscope, which is a compound microscope is usually used to study the internal environment  of the cell because of the easiness with which one can easily distinguish the cell organelles from one another. Electron microscope gives great clarification of the cellular components and allow scientists to observe minute details about cellular structures. Electron microscope usually magnify specimens to one million times of their real sizes.
