In the graphic X represents which element? 31 15 11x А B 31 Gallium 15 Phosphorus P 46 Palladium Pd Ga​

B. X represents phosphorus

Explanation:

In an isotope symbol, you write the mass number above the atomic number. So the 31 represents the mass of the protons and neutrons of the element added together, and the 15 represents the atomic number or the total number of protons in the nucleus.

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.

radioactive decay occurs in unstable atomic nuclei – that is, ones that don't have enough binding energy to hold

the nucleus together due to an excess of either protons or neutrons.
