The_ of an element tells how many particles are in the nucleus of each atom.

Biology
1 answer:
Ugo [173]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u> The mass number of an element tells us about the number of particles present in the nucleus of an atom

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nucleons are defined as the sub-atomic particles which are present in the nucleus of an atom. Nucleons are protons and neutrons.

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

<u>For Example:</u>  Taking an isotope of chlorine, Cl-35

Atomic number = Number of protons = 17

Mass number = Nucleons = 35

Hence, the mass number of an element tells us about the number of particles present in the nucleus of an atom

Nady [450]
Kelp is very sensitive to temperature change. Placing the plant near the window and exposing it to direct sunlight will result in continuous warming of the water in which the kelp plant is growing. Research has shown that kelp plant degrades very quickly when temperature increases due to tissue loss.

Explain five ways in which goat production contribute to the economic development of your country​
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Sheep and goats are important livestock species in developing countries. Of the world's 1,614million sheep and 475 million goats, 65% and 95%, respectively, are located in developing countries. Fifty-three percent of the total small-ruminant population in the developing countries is found in Asia, particularly in India and Pakistan, 33% in Africa, and 14% in Latin America (FAO, 1984).

Goats are hardy and well-adapted to harsh climates. Due to their grazing habits and physiological characteristics, they are able to browse on plants that would normally not be eaten by other livestock species. Thus, the presence of goats in mixed species grazing systems can lead to a more efficient use of the natural resource base and add flexibility to the management of livestock. This last characteristic is especially desirable in fragile environments.

Sheep and goats contribute to a broad range of production systems. The most common system throughout the developing countries involve either the extensive system with large herds and/or flocks grazing on arid and semi-arid rangelands or the intensive system with smaller herds and/or flocks kept in confinement, mostly in the humid tropics.

Describe the<br> relationship<br> between the age<br> of rock layers and<br> an unconformity
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Laws of stratigraphy help scientists determine the relative ages of rocks. This law states that deeper rock layers are older than layers closer to the surface. An unconformity is a gap in rock layers. They occur where older rock layers eroded completely before new rock layers were deposited.

Explanation:

The study of rock strata is called stratigraphy. The laws of stratigraphy can help scientists understand Earth’s past. The laws of stratigraphy are usually credited to a geologist from Denmark named Nicolas Steno. He lived in the 1600s.

Hope this helps!
