Answer:
It's an open system, tranfering heat through a rigid, diathermal wall and matter through an imaginary and permeable wall, and it is not at steady state.
Explanation:
- An <em>open system</em> is that that interacts with its surroundings exchanging energy and matter. In an open pan with boiling water you have an open system because steam (matter) is leaving the system, as well as heat (energy) through the pan/stove.
- A<em> boundary</em> is what separates the system from its surroundings, there are many types of boundaries, based on how they transfer energy they can be diathermal (conducting heat) or adiabatic (insulating), on their rigidity they can be rigid, flexible, imaginary or movable and based on their permeability. For the system described we have an imaginary boundary on top that is also permeable allowing matter to go out or in the system, and another wall (the stove/pan itself that is rigid and impermeable avoiding the loss of matter and diathermal, allowing the conduction of heat.
- It is said that a system is at a<em> steady state</em> when the variables that define that system remain constant over time. In an open pan, you can't fully control those variables, you'll have matter and energy scaping from it with no way to regulate it.

Pushing down a piston in an airtight cylinder would tend to increase the pressure in the system since the particle collision and collisions with the walls are now more frequent. Also, pushing further, the gas would undergo a phase change from gas to a liquid.
The correct answer is option c, that is, nucleus.
A usual atom comprises three subatomic particles, that is, the neutrons, protons, and electrons. According to Bohr's model, the majority of the mass of an atom is in the nucleus, that is, a small, dense region at the center of each atom, comprising nucleons.
The nucleons incorporate neutrons and protons. All the positive charge of an atom is found in the nucleus and arises from the protons, the neutrons are neutrally-charged, and the electrons are the negatively charged particles found outside of the nucleus.
