Answer:
In this case the mass number would be 11.
Explanation:
The mass number of an element is the sum of the protons and neutrons. The number of neutrons for a given element is the only number that can change and still have the identity of the element stay the same, (because the atomic number is the number of protons).
Water is molecule formed by the covalent bonding of two atoms of hydrogen with one atom of oxygen. The chemical and physical properties of water are different from each of it's constituent elements Oxygen and Hydrogen. The properties of a drop of water will depend on the simplest unit of water, which is the water molecule
. Therefore, the smallest unit of the water drop that retains all the physical and chemical properties exhibited by a sample of water is the molecule.
3-ethyl-2.4-dimethyl-octanoic acid
The subatomic particles that identifies an element and also represents its atomic number would be A. The number of protons.
