number of protons: 94
number of neutrons: 145

239
       Pu
   94

Explanation:

1) The atomic number, Z, of plutonium is Z = 94, i.e plutonium 94 protons

2) Plutoniun-239 is the isotope with mass number 239.

3) Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons =>

number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons = 239 - 94 = 145

4) The notation requires that you indicate the symbol of the element with the atomic number (number of protons) and the mass number.

You put the mass number as a superscript at the left side of the symbol and the atomic number as subscript to the left of the symbol.

So, in this case the symbol is Pu, the superscript to the left is 239 and the subscript to the left is 94.

239
       Pu

answer: e. sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give $h^+$ ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

$hcl\rightarrow h^++cl^-$

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give $oh^-$ ions or accepts $h^+$ ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.

$naoh\rightarrow na^++oh^-$

$nh_3+h^+\rightarrow nh_4^+$

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
