The right answer is B) Magnesium has one less proton than aluminum.  

Magnesium is the chemical element of atomic number 12, Mg symbol.

Magnesium 24 is composed of 12 protons and 12 neutrons. Mg 25 and Mg 26 respectively have 13 and 14 neutrons.

Aluminum is the chemical element of atomic number 13, symbol Al. It belongs to group 13 of the periodic table and to the family of poor metals.

Aluminum 27 is composed of 13 protons and 14 neutrons.

The only true answer here is B. if you have a periodic table, you can see that Magnesium atomic number is 12 while Aluminium's is 13. this means Al has 1 more proton and weights more than magnesium since proton and neutrons contribute to the weights of the atoms.

Why is the northern hemisphere warmer in the summer than in the winter paragraph plz
Alexus [3.1K]
The northern hemisphere is warmer in the summer than the winter because the northern hemisphere are pointing toward the sun. Because of this the rays hit us more directly making is hotter. So during the winter when the northern hemisphere is not pointing toward us, it makes is colder. It also depends on the tilt of the axis. When it is more direct it makes the temperature hotter.

andrew11 [14]
Our genes can be affected by the environment and change the way our traits are displayed, called the phenotype. However, changes in phenotype have an underlying genotypic source. Epigenetics or epigenetic changes are changes in the way traits are expressed as an effect of the environment (i.e. food we ate, chemicals in the body, environmental stresses), without changes in the DNA. Simply put, in epigenetics, some parts of the DNA are turned on or off in response to environmental conditions.

What effects does hydrogen bonding and polarity have on water?
lesya [120]
Oxygen has a partial negative charge, whereas hydrogen had a partial positive charge.

This means that water molecules are polar and can be used to dissolve a lot of chemicals, that's why water is such a popular solvent.

Symptoms of uric acid.​
irina [24]

Answer:

Elevated uric acid levels lead to a condition known as "Hyperuricemia."

Explanation:

This condition occurs when there is an excessive presence of uric acid in the blood. It can be divided into:

  • Primary hyperuricemia
  • Secondary hyperuricemia

Primary hyperuricemia occurs when the kidneys are not able to eliminate uric acid in an efficient/proper way. This can be due to the consumption of foos that are very high in purines. For example, liver, gravy, alcoholic beverages, and some vegetables such as spinach and asparagus.

Secondary hyperuricemia may occur to several possible reasons. For instance, kidney disease, in which the kidney is not able to eliminate uric acid; chemotherapy, which may lead to the accumulation of uric acids; or medications that increase the level of uric acid in the blood.

Symptoms include:

  • Fever.
  • Extreme and abnormal fatigue.
  • Joint inflammation.
  • Urination problems.
  • Kidney stones.

To prevent this disease and as part of a treatment (along with medications prescribed by a doctor), a patient should opt to consume foods that are low in purine, such as lettuce, tomatoes, cereals, fruits, milk, eggs, amongst others.
