The atomic number is 43. This means it is Technetium. If its mass number is 164, then the number of neutrons is: 164 - 43 = 121. It has 121 neutrons.

Hello,
The mass number is protons+neutrons=mass number. In this case, we have protons+nuetron=164.The atomic number is simply the number of protons so we have 43+neutrons=164. Subtracting 43 from both sides we get nuetrons=121. Hope this helps!

Compare and contrast electric potential energy and electric potential difference? Explain.

forsale [732]

Answer:

Electric Potential Energy:

The energy that is needed to move a charge against an electric firld is called Electric Potential Energy

Electric Potential Difference:

The amount of work done in carrying a unit charge from one point to an other in an electric field is called Electric Potential Difference.

Relation:

Relation between Electric potential and electrical potential energy is given by

$\delta V=\frac{PE}{q}$

Here PE represents Electric potential energy

and $\delta V$ is Electric potential difference

it means electric potential difference is the difference in electric potential energy divided by the charge.

During adverse weather conditions such as rain or fog, drivers should take action accordingly by turning on their headlights, slowing down and increasing following distance. Adverse weather means that you are driving in difficult and dangerous conditions. Increasing following distance will help you to maintain safe driving and avoid tailgating.
