Atomic Number is the same as the number of protons in an element.
Mass Number is the number of Protons + Neutrons in an element.

Atomic Number: 6 means 6 Protons
Mass Number: 15 means 15 atoms that are a proton/neutron.
We are given out of the 15 atoms, 6 of them are protons, so the other 9 must be Neutrons.

15 - 6 = 9 so there must be 9 Neutrons.

There are 9 Neutrons in atom's nucleus.

Give Brainiest if you think this is the best answer and explanation. Thanks!

A ground state hydrogen atom absorbs a photon of light having a wavelength of 92.05 nm. It then gives off a photon having a wave

Absorbed photon energy
Ea = hc/λ.. (Planck's equation)
Ea = hc / 92.05^-9m 

<span>Energy emitted

Lead has a density of 11.3 g/mL. If you have 105 grams of lead,
Elza [17]

Answer:

<h2>Volume = 9.29 mL</h2>

Explanation:

Density of a substance can be found by using the formula

Density( \rho) =  \frac{mass}{volume}

From the question

Density = 11.3 g/mL

mass = 105 g

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the volume

That's

11.3 =  \frac{105}{v}

Cross multiply

11.3v = 105

Divide both sides by 11.3

v =  \frac{105}{11.3}

v = 9.29203

We have the final answer as

<h3>Volume = 9.29 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

katrin2010 [14]
A physical property of an element is a property of an element that can observed or measured without changing the chemical nature of the element.

A chemical property of an element is a property of an element that can only be observed or measure when the chemical property of the element is altered or changed.

Based on this;
The boiling point of bromine is a physical property of bromine.
The high reactivity of bromine with many elements is a chemical property of bromine.
