<span>The metalloids; boron (B), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), tellurium (Te), polonium (Po) and astatine (At) are the elements found along the step like line between metals and non-metals of the periodic table.</span>
<span>The smallest unit of an element that retains all the characteristics of that element is called an A. atom.
Atoms consist of protons, electrons, and neutrons, but they are particles and don't have the characteristics of the element which is why D is incorrect. B and C are not the smallest units - atoms are smaller than them.

Number of Atoms in Gold for given mass can be calculated using following formula,
# of Moles = Number of Atoms / 6.022 × 10²³
Or,
Number of Atoms = Moles × 6.022 × 10²³ ------- (1)
Calculating Moles,
As,
Moles = Mass / M.mass
So,
Moles = 4.25 g / 196.96 g/mol
Moles = 0.0215
Putting value of mole in eq.1,
Number of Atoms = 0.0215 × 6.022 × 10²³
Number of Atoms = 1.299 × 10²²
Result:
4.25 g of Gold Nugget contains 1.299 × 10²² Atoms.
Answer:
0. 414
Explanation:
Octahedral interstitial lattice sites.
Octahedral interstitial lattice sites are in a plane parallel to the base plane between two compact planes and project to the center of an elementary triangle of the base plane.
The octahedral sites are located halfway between the two planes. They are vertical to the locations of the spheres of a possible plane. There are, therefore, as many octahedral sites as there are atoms in a compact network.
The Octahedral interstitial void ratio range is 0.414 to 0.732. Thus, the minimum cation-to-anion radius ratio for an octahedral interstitial lattice site is 0. 414.
Number of proton K=19
so, 42 - 19 =23
then the answer in 19 protons and 23 neutrons
