Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ Protons \ and \ neutrons \ are \ in \ the \ nucleus }}$

Explanation:

Protons and neutrons are two subatomic particles.

The make up the nucleus
Most of the mass of the atom consists of them
Their sum is the mass number of an atom

They are always found in the nucleus, regardless of the type of element.

Electrons are the other main subatomic particles, and they are found outside and surrounding the nucleus.

The best answer choice is <u>A. Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus </u>

nikdorinn [45]

Volume fraction = volume of the element / volume of the alloy

Volume = density * mass

Base: 100 grams of alloy

mass of tin = 15 grams

mass of lead = 85 grams

volume = mass / density

Volume of tin = 15g / 7.29 g/cm^3 = 2.06 cm^3

Volume of lead = 85 g / 11.27 g/cm^3 = 7.54 cm^3

Volume fraction of tin = 2.06 cm^3 / (2.06 cm^3 + 7.54 cm^3) = 0.215

Volume fraction of lead = 7.54 cm^3 / (2.06 cm^3 + 7.54 cm^3) = 0.785

As you can verify the sum of the two volume fractions equals 1: 0.215 + 0.785 = 1.000

Answer:

Oxygen and Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Oxygen is required for respiration whereby energy is released from natural occurring nutrients accompanied by the release of water and carbon dioxide. carbon dioxideis also required by plants to photosynthesise.

Oxygen and carbon dioxide in the troposphere supports life as by enabling respiration in organisms and photosynthesise in plants can. Without oxygen in an environment, only life forms that live by anaerobic respiration will thrive. This affects a regions carrying capacity
