<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.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

C)T

Explanation:

The period of a mass-spring system is:

T=2\pi\sqrt\frac{m}{k}

As can be seen, the period of this simple harmonic motion, does not depend at all on the gravitational acceleration (g), neither the mass nor the spring constant depends on this value.

A square current-carrying loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field B with the plane of the loop parallel to the magnetic field
Radda [10]

Answer:

(A) a net torque but no net force on the loop.

Explanation:

The total force on the loop is zero because the forces on the opposite sides of the loop are equal but act in opposite directions and as a result they cancel each other out. The two forces on opposite sides to the axis of rotation each give rise to a torque about the axis of rotation. This torque is directed along the axis of rotation.
