Which of the following best defines the internal energy of a system?

1 answer:

7 0

<span>In thermodynamics, the internal energy of a thermodynamic system, or a body with well-defined boundaries, denoted by U, or sometimes E, is the total of the kinetic energy due to the motion of molecules (translational, rotational, vibrational) and the potential energy associated with the vibrational and electric energy of atoms within molecules or crystals. It includes the energy in all the chemical bonds, and the energy of the free, conduction electrons in metals.</span>

What is the identity of the element, and how many neutrons does it have? An elements most stable ion forms an ionic compound wit

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B. CA, 14

Explanation:

Atoms of elements contain small particles known as electrons, neutrons, and protons. The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons which are at the center of the atom. Electrons on the other hand surrounds the nucleus. Electron has negative charge while proton has a positive charge. The number of neutrons is equivalent to the number of protons . In addition, the number of protons is equal to mass number minus the number of electrons.

For the compound $XCl_{2}$ , it can be broken down into $X^{2+}$ and $2Cl^{-}$ . Its ion has a mass of 34 and 18 electrons which means it has already lost 2 electrons.

Therefore:

For the given element, the number of electrons is 18+2 = 20 electrons.

The number of protons = 34 - 20 = 14.

And the number of neutrons is 14.

Only option B has the correct answer.

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Controlling the environment is the most key procedures for getting good results.

Explanation:

The control environment for an experiment is the essential part for getting good results. In control environment, there is no or less chances of disruption

from the external environment which can cause the results of the data more acceptable. So the scientists prefers laboratory for performing experiment as compared to outer environment. So in my opinion for getting better results, the control environment is the most necessary experimental procedure.
