<span><span>1) Calculate the total number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) in the nuclide
<span>--> If the number of nucleons is even, there is a good chance it is stable.
</span></span><span><span>
2) Are there a magic number of protons or neutrons?
</span>--> 2,8,20,28,50,82,114 (protons), 126 (neutrons), 184 (neutrons) are particularly stable in nuclei.

How does molecular attraction affect the amount of energy needed to create a phase change. Think about low, medium, and high
Art [367]

Answer:

When considering phase changes, the closer molecules are to one another, the stronger the intermolecular forces. Good! For any given substance, intermolecular forces will be greatest in the solid state and weakest in the gas state.

In the case of melting, added energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules. ... If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. The example we will use here is ice melting into water.

Mercury is often released into water bodies with industrial effluents, where it is then converted to the compound form methylmer
sergeinik [125]
 This is more to do with Bioaccumulation of mercury, where the mercury is absorbed into the issue of animals, and so animals higher in the food chain consume a lot of tissue matter hence increasing mercury content in their system.

In a food chain, energy does NOT flow directly from - F producer to decomposer G producer to consumer H consumer to decomposer J
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

producer to decomposer

Explanation:

This is because in a food chain , energy flow from one trophic level to another. The producer which include plants are the source of energy which they manufacture good in the presence of light energy from sun. Energy flow directly from the producer to the primary consumer which are heterotrophs that feed on plants. Energy flow from consumer to decomposer after the consumer died and it is decayed.

Zinc and hydrochloric acid react to form zinc chloride and hydrogen gas according to
stealth61 [152]

Explanation:

Mole ratio of Zn to HCl = 1 : 2.

If we use all 2.0mol of Zn, we would need 2.0 * 2 = 4.0mol of HCl. However we only have 3.0mol of HCl.

Therefore HCl is limiting.
