uncharged particle located in the nucleus; the number of these that an atom has is equal to its mass number minus its atomic num
zzz [600]

The correct answer is Neutron

Explanation:

As shown in the diagram the sub-particles in atoms are electrons, neutrons, and protons. From these, the two types of particles that are in the nucleus or center of the atom are neutrons and protons. Moreover, neutrons differ from protons because these are neutral or are not charged. According to this, the uncharged particles in atoms are neutrons.

Moreover, the number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number (number of protons) to the mass number (number of atoms and protons). For example, if in an atom the mass number is 12 (protons and neutrons)and the atomic number is 6 (number of protons), the neutrons are 6 (12 - 6 = 6). According to this, the correct answer is the neutron.

What is the central idea of the article Elephants Attack as Humans Turn Up the Pressure?
docker41 [41]

Answer: c) Researchers think that stresses created by humans are the reason behind increasing numbers of elephant attacks.

Explanation:

The aforementioned article by National Geographic shows that the higher number of elephant attacks on humans are as a result of human activities that are placing stress on elephants.

Humans are increasing in population and as a result need more land for farming. This is resulting in a shrinking habitat for elephants who then encroach on human farms and are killed for it which leads to some elephants having Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and killing other humans which then continues the cycle.
