Answer is (3) - ratio of neutrons to protons.


Isotopes are the atoms which have same atomic number but have different number of neutrons of same element.


Atomic nucleus can be stable or unstable. The stability of isotopes is based on neutron/ proton ratio. Unstable nucleus tries to become stable by emitting radiations.

Jimmy applied the distributive property to write the equation below.
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Jimmy wrote two expressions that are not equivalent

Explanation:

24+6=30 while 6(4+2) equals 36 because if you distribute the 6 to 4 (which equals 24) then the 6 to 2 (which equals 12) and add 24 and 12 together, you get 36. So, 24+6  =/= 6(4+2). Hopefully this is correct!

If further increases in substrate concentration do not result in further increases in reaction rate, then an enzyme is likely
igor_vitrenko [27]

Given what we know, we can confirm that if further increases in substrate concentration do not result in further increases in reaction rate, then an enzyme is likely saturated.

<h3>What does it mean for an enzyme to be saturated?</h3>

Enzymes work by binding to the substrate in specific zones of the enzyme. The zones are known as the active sites on enzymes. Since enzymes have a limited amount of these zones, once they are all bonded to a substrate, we can say that it is saturated.

Therefore, the saturation of enzymes allows us to explain how further increases in substrate concentration do not result in further increases in reaction rate.

Cecil writes the equation for the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen below.
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

C) to show that atoms are conserved in chemical reactions

Explanation:

When writing a chemical reaction, we should always consider the Mass Conservation Law, which basically states that; in an isolated system; the total mass should remain constant, this is, the total mass of the reactives should be equal to the total mass of the products

For this case, we should add the apporpiate coefficients in order to be in compliance with this law:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

So, we can check the above statement:

For reactives (left side):

4H

2O

For product (right side):

4H

2O
