The atomic mass of arsenic is 75 atomic mass units; a neutral atom of asennic has 33 electrons. how many neutrons does arsenic normally have? a.33 b.42 c.75 d.108

42

Explanation:

Atoms have a neutral charge overall, which means they have an equal numbers of positively-charged protons and negatively-charged electrons. Here, an atom of arsenic with 33 electrons must also have 33 protons.

The mass of any atom is contained in its nucleus, a part made up of protons and neutrons - particles with no charge. Both protons and neutrons are exactly 1 atomic mass unit each, so to find the atomic mass of an atom, we can use the formula

(# of protons) + (# of neutrons) = atomic mass

or equivalently:

atomic mass - (# of protons) = (# of neutrons).

For arsenic, we have an atomic mass of 75 amu and 33 protons, so using our formula:

# of neutron = 75 - 33 = 42 neutrons

answer: although many types of viruses can cause a common cold, rhinoviruses are the most common culprit. a cold virus enters your body through your mouth, eyes or nose. the virus can spread through droplets in the air when someone who is sick coughs, sneezes or talks. theres your answer
