Answer:

Fluorine and Neon have 10 neutrons in our nuclei

Explanation:

Each chemical element is characterized by the number of protons in its nucleus, which is called the atomic number Z. But in the nucleus of each element, it is also possible to find neutrons, the number of which can vary. The atomic mass (A) is obtained by adding the number of protons and neutrons in a given nucleus.

In an electronically neutral element the atomic number Z also indicates the number of electrons that rotates around the nucleus.

Being an isotope of an element that whose atomic number is the same, but the number of neutrons is different, then the atomic mass of an element is the weighted average mass of its natural isotopes. Therefore, the atomic mass of an element is not an integer.

Then

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

→ Number of neutrons= Mass number - Number of protons

Then, obtaining the atomic mass and the atomic number in the periodic table, it is possible to calculate the number of neutrons in the following elements:

Fluorine:

Atomic number = 9

Mass number = 19

→ Number of neutrons = 19 - 9 = 10

Neon:

Atomic number = 10

Mass number = 20

→ Number of neutrons = 20 - 10 = 10

Fluorine and Neon have 10 neutrons in our nuclei

How do multiple forces interact

mars1129 [50]

So what happens when there is more than one force? I like to think of net force as if two people were pulling on ropes attached to a big crate. If they pull the crate in the same direction, the crate will accelerate twice as quickly. If they pull in opposite directions with equal forces, the crate won’t move at all — these two forces cancel each other out. If one person pulls northwards and the other pulls eastwards, the crate will move to the north-east.

Which of the following molecules can form hydrogen bonds? Group of answer choices NH3 NaH HI BH3 CH4

Len [333]

Answer:

NH₃

Explanation:

The hydrogen bond is a specially strong type of dipole-dipole interaction. For a hydrogen bond to occur, a molecule must have a hydrogen atom and a very electronegative atom, such as nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine. The hydrogen atom has a positive charge density while the heteroatom has a negative charge density.

Which of the following molecules can form hydrogen bonds?

NH₃ YES

NaH NO

HI NO

BH₃ NO

CH₄ NO

Differentiate between the three types of simple permanent tissues on the basis of their cell walls

True [87]

Answer:

Parenchyma is the most simple and specialized tissue which is concerned mainly with the vegetative activities of the plant. The cells are isodiametric with well-developed intercellular spaces, vacuolated cytoplasm and cellulosic cell wall.

Collenchyma is the tissue of the primary body. The cells of the tissue contain protoplasm and are living without intercellular spaces. The cell wall articulate at the corners and are made up of cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin.

Sclerenchyma is the thick-walled cell tissue. In the beginning, the cell is living and have protoplasm, but due to deposition of impermeable secondary board lignin, they become dead thick and hard.

Calculate the decrease in temperarure when 2.00 L at 20.0 degrees celsius is compressed to 1.00 L.

Serga [27]

I suspect that the pressure of this change is constant therefore

The equation is used from the combined gas law. (When pressure is constant both P's will cancel out P/P = 1)
V/T = V/T
Initial Change

Initially we have 2L at 20 degress what temperature will be at 1L.

2/20 = 1/T
0.1 = 1/T
0.1T = 1
T = 1/0.1
T = 10 degress celsius.

Hope this helps if you won't be able to understand what is the combined gas law just tell me :).
