Answer:

D

Explanation:

the zero is trailing with a decimal so it counts. A is wrong because you can't round up, C is too many SF and E is wrong because a negative exponent would give you .001250

Answer: D

Explanation:

Not A: You don’t round up to 1251 because 3 is less than 5

Not B: That’s more than 4 sig figs

Not C: More than 4 sig figs

D: 1.250 has 4 sig figs and 1250 is the correct answer

Not E: negative exponent makes it into decimal which is way off

Schach [20]

Transfer and gain of kinetic energy by the water molecules takes place as water cycles from the bottom of the pot toward the top.

<h3>What is thermal energy?</h3>

Thermal energy is a another word to express the heat energy.

When we boil a water over a gas burner then due to convention, heat energy can be transfer to the bottom water molecules in the form of thermal energy. After gaining the thermal energy movement of water molecules increases as a result of the increase of the kinetic energy.

Hence, option (1), (2) & (4) are correct i.e. transfer and gain of kinetic energy by the water molecules is done.

What two subatomic particles have to be different in order to have an ion?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

A)Protons and electrons

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

when an atom lose or gain the electron ions are formed and number of protons and electrons no longer remain the same.

For example:

An atom of sodium when lose one electron it form positive ion. The number of electrons became 10 and number of protons remain 11.

Na → Na⁺ + 1e⁻
