If two protons and two neutrons are added to the nucleus of a carbon atom, what nucleus does it become?

1 answer:

5 0

If two protons are added to carbon, the chemical identity changes to oxygen, which is two spaces over horizontally on the periodic table. The number of protons is what we call the atomic number (Z), and this is what defines the identity of an element. Since we also added two neutrons, this is simply oxygen, or oxygen-16, the most abundant isotope of oxygen.

The energy of a photon is ________ proportional to its wavelength. The energy of a photon is ________ proportional to its freque

topjm [15]

Answer: Inversely , Directly

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength and directly proportional to its frequency.

As can be seen from this equation;

E = hv = h c / ∧

Where E = Energy of a photon

v = Frequency

h = Planck Constant

c = speed of light

∧ = Wave length

The Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, Canada is reported to have the largest tides in the world with high tide and low tide occurring

topjm [15]

The rate in m/s is 5.2 * 10^-4 m/s.

We know that the speed is given as the ratio of the distance covered to the time taken. In this case, we have been told that the rate at which the tide rises is 6.08 ft per hour. We would now need to convert the rate from 6.08 ft per hour to m/s.

Now;

We know that;

1 foot/hour = 8.5 * 10^-5 m/s

6.08 ft per hour = 6.08 ft per hour * 8.5 * 10^-5 m/s/1 foot/hour

= 5.2 * 10^-4 m/s

Chemical equation=CH4 + O2 = CO2 + H2O.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

1.The substance(s) to the left of the arrow in a chemical equation are called reactants. A reactant is a substance that is present at the start of a chemical reaction. The substance(s) to the right of the arrow are called products . A product is a substance that is present at the end of a chemical reaction.The combustion of methane or octane is exothermic; it releases energy. CH4 + 2 O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O + energy The energies of the products are lower than the energiies of the reactants.

1. The structural unit of nucleic acids are composed of repeating units of monomers called nucleotides. Nucelotides are composed of three functional groups: sugars which are specifically pentoses (5-Carbon sugars), phosphate group and nitrogenous base.

2. The two major classes of nucleic acids in the body are the DNA or deoxyribonucleic acids and RNA or ribonucleic acids.

3.
a. Based on the nitrogenous bases and sugar, the DNA has a deoxyribose as the sugar and its 4 bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. For RNA, the sugar is ribose while its 4 bases are <span>adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil

b. Based on the </span>general three-dimensional structure, DNA is a double stranded β-helix with a long chain of nucleotides. RNA is composed of a shorter chain with a single strand α-helix structure.

c. Based on r<span>elative functions, the DNA is responsible for storing the genetic information while the RNA is responsible for transporting the genetic information to the ribosomes which synthesize proteins.</span>
