I believe the answer is D. The atmosphere, different layers of the atmosphere can help in different ways! The stratosphere helps protect us from the sun's rays; The Mesophere is what helps protect us from meteorites! It's so cold that they burn up in that area.

Answer:

Weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an object. The mass of an object will never change, but the weight of an item can change based on its location. For example, you may weigh 100 pounds on Earth, but in outer space you would be weightless.

Explanation:

I can't see the options but I hope this helps!

How is an isotope different from the standard form of a chemical element?
velikii [3]

Answer:

  • The standard form of a chemical element is the natural mixture of several isotopes of the same element, which is atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons, while an isotope is a particular kind of atom with a definite number of neutrons.

Explanation:

A <em>chemical element</em> is a pure substance formed by atoms with the same atomic number (number of protons). This is because it is the number of protons what identifies an element.

For example: oxygen is a chemical element, so oxygen is formed by only atoms of oxygen, and the atomic number of those atoms is 8, because every oxygen atom has 8 protons.

Nevertheless, some atoms of oxygen, may have different number of neutrons. Isotopes are different kind of atoms of the same element, which only differ in the number of neutrons. So, some atoms of oxygen will have 8 neutrons, other 9 neutrons, and other 10 neutrons (those are the stable isotopes of oxygen).

That difference in neutrons, is generally accepted that, does not modifiy substantially the chemical properties of the element, but the mass number. So, the isotopes with more neutrons wil be heavier, and the isotopes with less neutrons will be lighter.

  • Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons.

In general a chemical element is formed by a mixutre of isotopes of the same element.

When Iodine-131 emits a β particle (beta particle), what nuclide is produced? *
k0ka [10]

When Iodine-131 emits a β particle will produce Xe-131

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,  

  • alpha α particles ₂He⁴
  • beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
  • gamma particles ₀γ⁰
  • positron particles ₁e⁰
  • neutron ₀n¹

So for reaction Iodine-131 :

\tt _{53}^{131}I\rightarrow _{-1}^0\beta +_{54}^{131}Xe
