Answer : The correct option is, (B) has fewer subatomic particles than an atom of iron (Fe) .

Explanation :

The given element is chromium (Cr). The atomic number of chromium is 24.

As we know that the atomic number is either equal to the number of protons or number of electrons.

So, Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 24

And we know that mass number is the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons.

Mass number of chromium = 52

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

52 = 28 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 28

And we know that the atomic number of iron (Fe) is 26.

Number of protons = Number of electrons = 26

Mass number of Fe = 56

Number of neutrons = 30

From the given options we conclude that the a neutral atom of chromium has fewer subatomic particles than an atom of iron (Fe).

Hence, the correct option is, (B) has fewer subatomic particles than an atom of iron (Fe) .

Answer:

D. Surface tension.

Explanation:

Surface tension is defined as the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a unit amount.

The surface tension of a liquid results from an imbalance of intermolecular attractive forces, the cohesive forces between molecules:

A molecule in a liquid experiences cohesive forces with other molecules in all directions while molecules at the surface of a liquid experiences only net inward cohesive forces.

How is the weathering of rocks by water different from the weathering of rocks by ice?

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

It is because water is liquid and it can be weathered easily. While weathering by solid is a bit dangerous because of its hardness.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Carbon

Explanation:

Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell, so it generally shares it in a covalent bond. This element needs four electrons to be stable, so it can form single (such as the bond with hydrogen), double (such as the bond with oxygen) or triple bonds (such as the bond with nitrogen).

It can also form bonds with other carbon, and they can form longs chains, that's why there are a lot of organic compounds (the compounds with carbon). Carbon can form rings too, such as in benzene.
