Answer & Explanation:
In physics, a contact force is a force that acts at the point of contact between two objects, in contrast to body forces. Contact forces are described by Newton's laws of motion, as with all other forces in dynamics. Contact force is the force in which an object comes in contact with another object. Contact forces are also direct forces. Contact forces are ubiquitous and are responsible for most visible interactions between macroscopic collections of matter. Pushing a car up a hill or kicking a ball or pushing a desk across a room are some of the everyday examples where contact forces are at work. In the first case the force is continuously applied by the person on the car, while in the second case the force is delivered in a short impulse.

Let's look at the choices and see why they work, or don't work.
monosaccharide
* Otherwise known as a simple sugar. And NaCl is definitely not a sugar of any type. So this is wrong.
disaccharide
* Complex sugar. And NaCl doesn't qualify either.
organic
* A definition of an organic compound is one that has carbon in it. NaCl has sodium and chlorine. No carbon at all, so this isn't the right answer. And I wish that organic was an earlier choice, since the sugars mentioned above are organic compounds.
inorganic
* This is the only possible choice. Salt is not an organic compound since it doesn't have carbon. So it can't be a sugar either. But it can and is inorganic.</span>
Answer:
The atomic number of silicon is 14 while atomic mass of carbon is 14.
Explanation:
An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.
All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.
In given atoms ¹⁴₆C and ²⁸₁₄Si the atomic mass of carbon is 14 while the atomic number of silicon is 14. It means silicon has 14 electrons or protons while carbon has 6 protons or electrons because its atomic number is 6. Carbon has 6 protons and 8 neutrons in its nucleus while silicon has 14 protons and 14 neutrons in its nucleus.
In C:
Number of neutrons + protons = 8 + 6 = 14 amu (mass number)
Number of electrons = 6
In Si:
Number of neutrons + protons = 14 + 14 = 28 amu (mass number)
Number of electrons = 14
Electrons, specifically valence electrons
