Explanation:

It is known that an atom consists of protons, neutrons and electrons. Both protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus of an atom whereas electrons revolve around the nucleus.

Atomic number is the total number of protons present in an atom. On the other hand, atomic mass is the sum of total number of protons and neutrons present in an atom.

That is,     Atomic mass = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                 no. of neutrons = atomic mass - no. of protons

Therefore, we can conclude that to find the number of neutrons in an atom, subtract its number of protons from atomic mass.

When does a star reach equilibrium?
Snezhnost [94]
Actually, that does not happen until the protostar becomes a star when nuclear ignition starts and is maintained. It takes awhile for new star to go through its T-Tauri stage and settle down on the main sequence. 

<span>A STAR does not reach hydrostatic equilibrium until it on the main sequence. Otherwise, it would remain a brown dwarf with not enough mass to to maintain nuclear fusion for more than 3,000 to 10,00 years. </span>

Suppose a system returns to its original overall, internal energy ((∆U) after the following changes. In step 1, 25 J of work is
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Heat transfer in step 2 = 47.75 J

Explanation:

Internal energy = heat + work done

U = Q + W

In a cyclic process the total internal energy change of the system = 0.

In the process there are two steps. The total heat exchange in the process is the sum of heat exchanges in the two processes.

We have to find the heat exchange in step 2.

In step 1,

W = 1.25 J          Q = -37 J

U_{1} = -37 + 1.25 = -35.75 J

In step 2, the internal energy change will be negative of that in step 1.

U = 35.75 J

W = -12 J

U = Q + W

35.75 = Q -12

Q = 47.75 J

Heat transfer in step 2 = 47.75 J

Can an ether form hydrogen bonds in the same way as does an ester
belka [17]

Yes, an OH group from ethanol can form a hydrogen bond to the ether O atom in the same way as it can do so with the single-bonded O atom in the ester.

The O atom in the carbonyl group of the ester can also form H-bonds with ethanol.

When a pendulum swings, if it is not continuously pushed it will not stop eventually because some of its energy is changed into.
Vladimir79 [104]
Well, there is kinetic energy when the object is in motion. But it will stop eventually because that energy is converted into thermal energy, or heat.
