Answer:
A catalytic converter is a device used to reduce the emissions from an internal combustion engine (used in most modern day automobiles and vehicles). Not enough oxygen is available to oxidize the carbon fuel in these engines completely into carbon dioxide and water; thus toxic by-products are produced. Catalytic converters are used in exhaust systems to provide a site for the oxidation and reduction of toxic by-products (like nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons) of fuel into less hazardous substances such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and nitrogen gas.
Answer : The correct option is, (C) Both the atomic mass and the atomic number increase from left to right.
Explanation :
The general trend of atomic number and atomic mass in the periodic table is,
Both atomic number and atomic mass increase from left to right and decreases from right to left in the periodic table due to the addition of the number of neutrons and the number of protons in the nucleus.
Hence, the correct option is, (C) Both the atomic mass and the atomic number increase from left to right.
