The electrical charge of an atom having 15 proton, 14 neutrons and 16 electrons is -1. The correct option is D.

What is an atom?

An atom is the smallest unit of any matter which comprises of central nucleus and electrons revolving around the nucleus in definite energy shells. The atom is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons.

The electrical charge of an atom can be calculated as,

Charge of an atom = number of protons - number of electrons

Charge = 15 - 16 = -1.

The neutrons are neutral and do not contribute to the charge, the protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged in an atom.

Therefore, the charge of an atom with 15 protons, 14 neutrons and 16 electrons is -1. The correct answer is option D.

Explain why an atom can only emit specific wavelengths of light and not every possible wavelength
ella [17]

Answer:

<em>The electrons in an atom can only occupy certain allowed energy levels to a lower one</em>, the excess energy is emitted as a photon of light, with its wavelength dependent on the change in electron energy. This is why an atom can only emit specific wavelengths of light and not every possible wavelength.

A cheetah can run 112km/h over a 100-m distance. what is this speed in meters per second
Naya [18.7K]
First convert the 112 km/hr ratio into m/s (meters per second). To do this you multiply 112 km with 1000 m/km (since there's 1000 m in one km). You get 112000 m. Then multiply 1 hr with 60 min/hr (since there's 60 min in one hr. You get 60 min, but you want seconds, so multiply 60 min with 60 s/min to get 3600 s. There you go! Your answer is the speed of 112000m/3600s, but you can simplify that to 31.11m/s (since the answer should be in ? meters per 1 second.

Also, the "100-m-distance" part of the question is just to throw you off, because one particular speed obviously stays constant over any distance. Hope that helps :)
