What characteristic of an atom determines its properties

1 answer:

4 0

The correct answer to this question is actually letter B. 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.

Brrunno [24]

Answer: The distance is 723.4km

Explanation:

The velocity of the transverse waves is 8.9km/s

The velocity of the longitudinal wave is 5.1 km/s

The transverse one reaches 68 seconds before the longitudinal.

if the distance is X, we know that:

X/(9.8km/s) = T1

X/(5.1km/s) = T2

T2 = T1 + 68s

Where T1 and T2 are the time that each wave needs to reach the sesmograph.

We replace the third equation into the second and get:

X/(9.8km/s) = T1

X/(5.1km/s) = T1 + 68s

Now, we can replace T1 from the first equation into the second one:

X/(5.1km/s) = X/(9.8km/s) + 68s

Now we can solve it for X and find the distance.

X/(5.1km/s) - X/(9.8km/s) = 68s

X(1/(5.1km/s) - 1/(9.8km/s)) = X*0.094s/km= 68s

X = 68s/0.094s/km = 723.4 km

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

With more particles there will be more collisions and so a greater pressure. The number of particles is proportional to pressure, if the volume of the container and the temperature remain constant. ... This happens when the temperature is increased.
