Answer:

atomic number

Explanation:

The chemical elements are organized according to several of their physical and, especially, chemical properties, the most important being the atomic number. However, these elements can be organized in different ways within the periodic table, without them losing their assigned place within it, all to achieve a better study of such elements. Thus, the elements can be divided into the table in several ways, depending on the property to be studied or of interest:

- Periods and groups.

- Representative elements, transition, internal transition and noble gases.

- Metal, non-metal and metalloid elements.

- Element families.

In any case, each chemical element has a fixed place in the periodic table in the form of a small square, or square, within which there are numbers, words and letters, which constitute the physical and chemical information of that element.

Atomic number of helium : 2

Atomic number of lithium : 3

Atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons. The atomic number - which is identified by the letter Z, by the German term zahl - indicates the number of protons that are present in the nucleus of an atom.

The atomic number defines the electronic configuration of the atom and allows the ordering of the different chemical elements in the periodic table, which begins with hydrogen (Z = 1) and continues with helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon and nitrogen

It is important to keep in mind that an unaltered atom is electrically <u>neutral</u>: therefore, <u>its atomic number will always be the same as its number of electrons</u>. The atomic number also defines the level of filling of the successive electronic orbitals of the atom, a characteristic that really reflects the periodic table.

What are 5 differences between Spring Tides and Neap Tides?
ad-work [718]

Spring Tides are formed by the constructive interference of bulges created by the moon and sun. Spring Tides occur when the Sun, Moon and the Earth are aligned. Neap Tides are formed by the destructive interference created by the moon and sun. Neap tides occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth align to make a right angle.

Which has more momentum, a speeding baseball or an ocean liner at rest in a harbor?
uranmaximum [27]
Momentum is (mass) times (speed), so nothing that is at rest has any momentum. If the battleship is at rest, then a mosquito in flight, a leaf falling from a tree, and your speedy baseball each have more momentum than the ship has.

A park ranger driving on a back country road suddenly sees a deer in his headlights 20
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

17.1

Explanation:

The distance ahead, of the deer when it is sighted by the park ranger, d = 20 m

The initial speed with which the ranger was driving, u = 11.4 m/s

The acceleration rate with which the ranger slows down, a = (-)3.80 m/s² (For a vehicle slowing down, the acceleration is negative)

The distance required for the ranger to come to rest, s = Required

The kinematic equation of motion that can be used to find the distance the ranger's vehicle travels before coming to rest (the distance 's'), is given as follows;

v² = u² + 2·a·s

∴ s = (v² - u²)/(2·a)

Where;

v = The final velocity = 0 m/s (the vehicle comes to rest (stops))

Plugging in the values for 'v', 'u', and 'a', gives;

s = (0² - 11.4²)/(2 × -3.8) = 17.1

The distance the required for the ranger's vehicle to com to rest, s = 17.1 (meters).
