The protons in the atom determine what the atom is. It also determines the atomic number<span>. For example, hydrogen has one proton, so it the atomic number is one. Lithium has an atomic number of three because it has three protons.</span>
Answer:
Water applied to the surface of a relatively dry soil infiltrates quickly due to the affinity of the soil particles for water. As time passes and the soil becomes wet, the force of gravity becomes the dominant force causing water to move.
Explanation:
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
The octane number is determined by comparing the characteristics of gasoline to isooctane (2,2,4-trimethylpentane) and heptane. The correct option is option A.
Basically, the higher the octane number, the greater the resistance of the gasoline to knocking.
Answer:
Promotes Stellar Formation:
-Increased Gravitational Attraction
-Higher Temperature
Does Not Promote Stellar Formation:
-Decreased Gravitational Attraction
-Lower Temperature
Explanation:
Stars need at least three million kelvins to form, and the gravitational attraction helps form the star in the first place.
Answer:
C. H2O is the base and H3O+ is the conjugate acid
Explanation:
According to Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory, an acid is a substance that loses an hydrogen ion or proton (H+) while a base is a substance that gains an hydrogen ion (H+) or proton. Furthermore, this theory states that, the molecule formed when an acid donates its proton is called the CONJUGATE BASE, while the molecule formed when the base accepts proton is called CONJUGATE ACID.
In this question, the following equation is given:
NH4+(aq) + H2O(aq) ⇌NH3(aq) + H3O+ (aq)
Water (H2O) is the base in this equation because according to Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory, it accepts an hydrogen ion (H+) while hydroxonium ion (H3O+) is the conjugate acid.
