The number of protons in an atom can be determined by the element's atomic number, and the number of electrons can be determined by subtracting by atomic mass by the atomic number.
The big advantage to using continuous compounding to express growth rates is it avoids the problem of asymmetry in growth rates:
For example, if we use the normal definition and $100 grows to $105 in one time period, that's a growth rate of $105/$100 - 1 = 5% But if $105 decreases to $100, that's a growth rate of $100/$105 - 1 = -4.76%
The problem of asymmetry is those two growth rates, 5% and -4.75% are not equal up to a sign.
But if you use continuous compounding the growth rate in the first case is ln(105/100) = 0.04879.
And the growth rate in the second is ln (100/105) = -0.04879.
Those two growth rates are definitely the negative of each other.<span>

As the temperature of a liquid increases, its viscosity decreases.
Answer:
yes
Explanation:
Alchemy is best described as a form of 'proto-science' rather than a distinct science in its own right. This is because, although many observations and theories made by alchemists were based on scientific fact, they often explained these in terms of 'magic' or divine intervention.
