B. By adding the number of protons and the number of neutrons

Explanation:

The atomic mass is determined by adding the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. An atom is made up of three fundamental particles: Electrons, Protons and Neutrons.

The protons and neutrons occupy a central region in an atom known as the nucleus. The nucleus is positively charged and mass concentrated.

If we compare the relative masses of the subatomic particles, the masses of protons and neutrons would be 1 and that of an electron would be 1/1840. This shows that the mass of electrons are negligible.

In order to ascertain atomic mass, we therefore add the number of protons and neutrons together. This is how we arrive at 12.011 as the value of the atomic mass of C and for other elements.

The atomic mass is also known as the mass number.

Answer from: Quest

An atom (ours, not carroll's) consists of a positively charged nucleus, surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called electrons. the positive charges equal the negative charges, so the atom has no overall charge; it is electrically neutral. most of an atom's mass is in its nucleus; the mass of an electron is only 1/1836 the mass of the lightest nucleus, that of hydrogen. although the nucleus is heavy, it is quite small compared with the overall size of an atom. the radius of a typical atom is around 0.1 to 0.25 nanometres (nm), whereas the radius of a nucleus is about 10-6 nm. * if an atom were enlarged to the size of the earth, its nucleus would be only 200 feet in diameter and could easily rest inside a small football stadium.read more on -

answer: at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

explanation:

since we have given that

the population for alpha city, t years after january 1, 2004 is given as

$p(t)=0.3t^2+6t+80$

first we find out the initial population, i.e. t=0,

so, our quadratic equation becomes,

$p(0)=0+0+80=80$

according to question, we have said that if the population has twice its initial population, then it becomes

$p(t)=2\times 80=160$

so, time taken to reach this above mentioned population is given by

$160=0.3t^2+6t+80\\\\160-80=0.3t^2+6t\\\\80=0.3t^2+6t\\\\0.3t^2+6t-80=0\\\\\text{using quadratic formula ,we get }\\\\t_{1,\: 2}=\frac{-60\pm \sqrt{60^2-4\cdot \: 3\cdot \: 800}}{2\cdot \: 3}\\\\t=-29.14\ and\ t=9.149$

now, we know that time can't be negative so, we take t=9.149 years.

hence, at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.
