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.
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. The mass number of an atom is never smaller than the atomic number. It can be the same, but is usually bigger.
