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 rock is thrown horizontally out of a window with a velocity of 20.0 m/s. If the window is 8.50m above the ground, how far
vladimir1956 [14]

The distance from the base of the building the rock will land is 26.4 m

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Horizontal velocity (u) = 20 m/s
  • Height (h) = 8.50 m
  • Distance (s) =?
<h3>Determination of the time to reach the ground </h3>
  • Height (h) = 8.50 m
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

8.5 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

8.5 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 8.5 / 4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(8.5 / 4.9)

t = 1.32 s

<h3>How to determine the distance </h3>
  • Horizontal velocity (u) = 20 m/s
  • Time (t) = 1.32 s
  • Distance (s) =?

s = ut

s = 20 × 1.32

s = 26.4 m
