an atom that has 18 protons, 18 neutrons and 20 neutrons. This atom has mass number of 38

mass number is calculated as number of protons + number on neutrons

therefore the mass number of the atom = 18+20= 38

Since the atom has a electronic configuration of 2.8.8,the atom cannot be negatively or positively charged because it is stable.

The atomic number of the atom is 18 since atomic number is equal to number of protons

How many decigrams are in 4.6 decagrams?
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{460 dg}}

Explanation:

1. Convert decagrams to grams

\text{Mass} =  \text{4.6 dag} \times\dfrac{\text{10 g}}{\text{1 dag}} = \text{46 g}

2. Convert grams to decigrams

\\text{Mass} =  \text{46 g} \times\dfrac{\text{10 g}}{\text{1 dg}} = \text{460 dg}\\\\\large \boxed{\textbf{4.6 dag = 460 dg}}

Sediment layers stop lateral spreading when:
GREYUIT [131]
Sediment layers stop lateral spreading when they encounter a barrier and they run out of additional sedimentary material. Lateral spreading is the lateral movement of gently to steeply sloping, saturated soil deposits caused by earthquake-induced liquefaction. Hope this answers the question.

student plans to isolate chlorophyll, mix it in a solution of carbon dioxide and water, and then shine light on the mixture. Do
Inga [223]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

<u>In order for glucose to be produced inside the mixture, photosynthesis has to take place</u>. The photosynthetic process requires a series of steps within an organelle called the <u>chloroplast</u>. The chloroplast contains the chlorophyll and other enzymes that are necessary for photosynthesis.

<em>Once the chlorophyll is isolated, it becomes separated from the enzymes necessary for the completion of photosynthesis, and the process is truncated. </em>When light is shined on the mixture, the majority would instead be lost as heat while some cause the chlorophyll molecules to glow.

Explain, in terms of electrons, why the radius of a calcium ion is smaller than the radius of a calcium atom.
Lilit [14]
Because the calcium ion donates two electrons to achieve the stable state. So the layer of electrons decrease form 4 layers(2,8,8,2) to 3 layers(2,8,8). Thus, the radius of a calcium ion is smaller than a calcium atom.
