There are ______ electrons, _______ protons, and ______ neutrons in an atom of .
Georgia [21]

There are 54 electrons, 54 protons, and 78 neutrons in an atom of 132 Xe.54.

Xenon is a chemical element with the symbol Xe and atomic number 54. It is a colourless, dense, odourless noble gas found in Earth's atmosphere in trace amounts.

Although generally unreactive, it can undergo a few chemical reactions such as the formation of xenon hexafluoroplatinate, the first noble gas compound to be synthesized.

Solid xenon changes from face-centred cubic (fcc) to hexagonal close packed (hcp) crystal phase under pressure and begins to turn metallic at about 140 GPa, with no noticeable volume change in the hcp phase. It is completely metallic at 155 GPa.

When metallized, xenon appears sky blue because it absorbs red light and transmits other visible frequencies. Such behaviour is unusual for a metal and is explained by the relatively small width of the electron bands in that state.

Full question :

b) 54 54 78

c) 54 54 132

d) 78 78 54

e)132 132 54

what is cotinental drift defin this term whith three scientific evidnce in 3-5 sentences HELP ME I'LL MAKE YOUR BRAINEST AND YOU
FinnZ [79.3K]
Continental drift is the movement of Earth’s continents over long periods of time. An evidence for this is that some continents look like puzzle pieces that can fit together, such as South America and Africa. Another evidence is that fossils of the same type have been found in different continents, far apart - suggesting that the two continents once were joined. Another evidence is that identical rocks were found at both sides of the Atlantic Ocean by Alfred Wegener, the main developer of the continents drift theory.

What energy is a quarterback’s arm before throwing a pass
Lunna [17]

Potential energy


Reason why: because the quarterbacks arm has the potential to throw a ball but since it is not throwing the ball, the energy is being held... this holding of energy is called potential energy
