The day the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter: We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam War..  Afghanistan, then, in a sense, became the United States' pawn.
There is no largest number. One simple way to consider this is to  look at the function:    f(x) = x + 1    Pick any number, and plug it into that function. No â¦ matter what  number you plug in, the function will always give you a number that  is one larger than the previous one. It doesn't matter how big x  is, there will always be an x + 1 value, which will always be  larger than x.
Atomic number and mass number. The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons it contains. All the atoms of a particular element have the same atomic number (number of protons). The atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons. For example, all oxygen atoms have 8 protons and all sodium atoms have 11 protons. The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons it contains.
