Answer:

makwe me brainliest pls hope it helps;)

Explanation:

Neutrons are electrically neutral, but contribute to the mass of a nucleus to nearly the same extent as the protons. Neutrons can explain the phenomenon of isotopes (same atomic number with different atomic mass). The main role of neutrons is to reduce electrostatic repulsion inside the nucleus

When dissolved in water, a neutral molecule of calcium chloride dissociates into three ions - one calcium ion and two chloride i
Mashcka [7]

Explanation:

Calcium chloride is an ionic compound as it is formed by transfer of an electron to each chlorine atom.

So, being an ionic compound calcium chloride is able to dissociate completely into water.

Hence, the dissociation reaction will be as follows.

         CaCl_{2}(s) \rightarrow Ca^{2+}(aq) + 2Cl^{-}(aq)

Since, two electrons has been lost by single calcium atom. Therefore, calcium atom will have a charge of +2.

Thus, we can conclude that the charge on the calcium ion, in elementary units is +2.

Identify 3 physical changes that could occur with a sheet of paper
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

  • 1. Dimensions: The sheet can be cut into several smaller pieces.

  • 2. Shape: the sheet can be formed into a paper ball or any other shape (using origami for example).

  • 3. Color: You can use crayons to paint the sheet and change its color.

Explanation:

<em>Physical changes</em> do not change the chemical properties. They do not transform the compounds that form the substances. They do not break and or form chemical bonds.

When you change the form, the state (solid, liquid or gas), the color, you are just changing physical properties.

Only chemical changes change the compounds that form the substance. For instance, if you burn the <em>sheet of paper</em>, then you are causing a chemical change because the organic matter in the paper will react with oxygen forming CO₂ and water, but by cutting, folding, smashing, or coloring with crayons, the compounds in the<em> sheet of paper</em> do not change.
