What characteristic of an atom determines its properties

Physics
1 answer:
Tema [17]3 years ago
4 0
<em>The correct answer to this question is actually letter B.</em> To expound on this, let's discuss each choice.

A. The particles inside the nucleus, protons and nucleus, don't actually dictate the properties of substances because the nucleus constitutes very little space compared to the rest of the atoms.

B. It is the electrons, especially the valence electrons, that dictate the property because these are the electrons that take part in chemical reactions.

C. The atomic number is the number of protons. It has nothing to do with the neutrons.

D. The atomic mass only tells the weight of each atom. The weight does not dictate the chemical properties of a substance.

A beam of monochromatic light is aimed at a slit of width and forms a diffraction pattern. In which case is the width of the cen
AysviL [449]

When the incident light is yellow the width of the central band greater. Single-wavelength light sources are known as monochromatic lights, where mono stands for one and chroma for color. Monochromatic lights are defined as visible light that falls inside a specific range of wavelengths. It has a wavelength that falls within a constrained wavelength range.

A laser beam is the ideal illustration of monochromatic light. A monochromatic light beam produced by a single atomic transition with a particular single wavelength is what makes up a laser. A color scheme that consists solely of different shades of one color is referred to as monochromatic.
