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.

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

12.245m3

Explanation:

The electric energy is created by The potential energy substended by the specific volume of water in dam.

Electric energy is calculated as

E= Q× V

E is Energy, Q is charge and V is Voltage

Note that this energy has been given and is 60Joules

From conservation of energy it means;

M× g×h = 60

Where M is the mass of water.

g is acceleration of free fall due to gravity which is 9.8m/S2

h is the height of water flow.

From change of subject of formula for M; we have:

M = 60/ g × h

= 60/ 9.8 × 0.5

= 12.245kg

Now how much water required means the volume of water;

Note density = mass/volume

Therefore volume = mass/density

=12.245/1= 12.245m3

Note the density of water is 1kg/m3

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnitude of the acceleration in the x direction is always zero: TRUE.

At the apex, in the y direction the velocity is zero and the accelration is positive. TRUE.

At the apex, in the x direction, the velocity is zero and the acceleration is zero. FALSE. The accelration is zero, but the velocity is the same it had when it was shot.

The magnitude of the velocity in the y direction is always constant. FALSE, it's subject to gravity and it's velocity varies as v=v_0 - 9.81ms^{-2} t

At the apex, in the Y direction, the velocity is negative and the acceleration is zero. FALSE. Velocity is zero, Acceleration is 9.81 ms^{-2}, towards the negative y axis
