The atomic number of an element can be determined by the number of _ in the nucleus nuetrons electrons protons

The answers should be Protons. The number of Protons in the nucleus is the atomic number of an element.

The number of protons in an element is like an ID card number. Each element has their own number of protons and it is never changed no matter how the number of neutrons or electrons are changed.

For example, fluorine has 9 protons, (protons only locates in the nucleus of an atom by the way), so, the atomic number of fluorine is 9.

answer: 4

explanation: 8

if the hares very faster than they are now, and thus the lynx's hunting success rate drops because it will be harder to catch them, the rate that will change will be the pray-rate. the pray-rate will change because more hares will be able to survive, thus more individuals for reproduction, so the end result will be increasing population of hares.

the predator-rate will remain pretty much the same because there will be more than enough pray, but the hunting success rate is stagnant.
