How do we measure the mass of an extrasolar planet?

Chemistry

To determine a planet's mass, astronomers typically measure the minuscule movement of the star caused by the gravitational tug of an orbiting planet. For planets the massof Earth detecting such a tiny tug is extraordinarily challenging with current technology

The mass number of an atom is 15, and its atomic number is 7. The atom probably has... 8 neutrons in the nucleus. about as much
Artist 52 [7]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number is the sum of only total number of protons present in an element. Whereas mass number is the sum of total number of both protons and neutrons present in an element.

For example, given atom has mass number as 15 and its atomic number is 7.

Therefore, number of neutrons present in it will be calculated as follows.

                    Mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                         15 = 7 + no. of neutrons

                    no. of neutrons = 15 - 7

                                               = 8

Thus, we can conclude that the given atom contains 8 neutrons in the nucleus.

How have safety concerns about chemicals changed over time?
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

C. As scientists have learned more about chemicals, they have  become more aware of their dangers

Explanation:

Chemicals are substances with standard compositions, held together by chemical bonds. Chemicals can exist in different phases such as solid, liquid, and gaseous phases. Over time, with a growing understanding of chemicals, their composition, and their reaction methods, scientists now have a better knowledge of the dangers chemicals can pose. To that effect, they have created standard safety measures for those who have to work with these chemicals.

When these guidelines are strictly adhered to, the chances of suffering accidents, burns, and explosions with these chemicals are significantly reduced.

D has the fastest reaction rate because dynamite explodes almost immediately.

A isn't correct because rusting nails take forever to completely rust.

B isn't correct because logs burning can take around 10 to 20 minutes.

C isn't correct because food digestions takes anywhere between 10 minutes to an hour.

yarga [219]

Answer:

E) are electrically attracted to each other

Explanation:

Water molecule is polar because there is a difference in electronegativity values between hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen side of the molecule has a slight positive charge and the oxygen side is slightly negatively.  

Positively and negatively charged ends cause water molecules to attract one another and for this reason water shows the properties mentioned in the question: cohesion, high specific heat, and high heat of vaporization.
