4.30 × 10²⁰ atoms

Explanation:

You need to find out how many moles you have.  First, convert milligrams to grams.

62.5 mg × (1 g)/(1000 mg) = 0.0625 g

Next, use the molar mass to convert from grams to moles.

0.0625 g ÷ 87.62 g/mol = 7.13 × 10⁻⁴ mol

To convert from moles to atoms, you need to use Avogadro's number (6.022 × 10²³).  Avogadro's number is the number of atoms in a mole.

7.13 × 10⁻⁴ mol × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol = 4.296 × 10²⁰ ≈ 4.30 × 10²⁰ atoms

You will have 4.30 × 10²⁰ atoms of strontium.

under a microscope, cancer cells may look very different from normal cells. they often have different sizes and some may be larger than normal while others are smaller. cancer cells are often abnormally shaped and the control centre of the cell (the nucleus) may have an abnormal appearance.
