Atomic Number definition: The number of protons within the nucleus of x atom.
Atomic Mass definition: The number of protons and/+ neutrons within the nucleus of x atom.
The given information states that the element has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in its nuclei with 8 electrons revolving around it. If the atomic number is 'the number of protons' and we have 8 given protons, our answer would be 8. If the atomic mass is protons + neutrons and we have 8 protons and neutrons, our answer for atomic mass would inevitably be 16.
Therefore
Atomic number: 8
Atomic mass: 16
Answer:
C) It will accelerate.
Explanation:
According to Newton’s second law of motion, when an object is acted on by an unbalanced force, it will accelerate.
An unbalanced force will change the speed or direction (or both) of an object. A change in speed and/or direction is acceleration.
A) is wrong. The object will stop moving only if there is a balanced force in the opposite direction.
B) is wrong. The object will decrease speed only if the unbalanced force has a component opposite to the direction of motion.
d) is wrong. The object will increase speed only if the unbalanced force has a component in the direction of motion.
Gallium has the lowest electronegativity.
