Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the article found on the Scientific American website.
Explanation:
<em>Remember,</em> according to that article we are told that scientists notice that these insects have a long nymphal (immature form before becoming adults) stage, one that can last up to 13 to 17 years on the ground before they leave the ground looking for mating partners.
Because it is only after mating occurs at this point that their eggs are laid, that is why scientists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years.

Explanation:
Water Content of Epidermal Cells
Temperature: Increase in the temperature causes stomata to open
Isotope ¹⁸F⁻ contains:
1) p⁺ = 9; number of protons.
Fluorine has a<span>tomic number Z = 9 (total number of protons).
2) e</span>⁻<span> = 10; </span>number of electrons.<span>
In element number of electrons and protons are the same, because element has neutral charge, but because in this example, fluorine is anion with negative charge, it has one electron more.
3) n</span>° = 9; number of neutrons.
<span>Mass number
A = 18 is total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus, so number of neutrons is A-Z = 18-9=9.</span>
