Explain how the relative atomic mass and the mass number of elements are different and hence why some elements have relative ato

mic masses that are not whole numbers

This is because the relative atomic mass is the sum of the no of protons and neutrons while the atomic no is of the former only. it is not a whole number it is th average weighted masses of the various isotopes of the element multiplied by their corresponding relative abundance. pls thank me and mark me briniest

Describe the sources of water pollution in hydrological cycle.
Bingel [31]

Explanation:

The hydrological cycle is the continuous cycling of water between land, open water surfaces and the sea. This cycle begins with evaporation, sunlight evaporates water from the surface of earth, next condensation happens, the water absorbed is now used to form clouds, after these clouds are filled to the maximum, precipitation happens, this can be in the form of rainfall and snow, this cycle finalizes when the precipitation of water runs off the land and back into water sources.

Sources of water pollution:

  • <em>During precipitation: </em>Smog can be gathered in the atmosphere, during precipitation this pollution can turn into acid rain.
  • <em>During runoff:</em> After acid rain hits the ground this polluted water can run into water sources (lakes, rivers, reservoirs).To some extent rivers are a self-renewing resource, if a small quantity of pollution discharges in it the river can return to a clean, unpolluted condition, unfortunately, if the pollution is too big the renewing won't be possible, another problem is even though rivers get cleaned the pollution moves to the seas. Lakes are even more vulnerable to pollution, the flushing effect in these water bodies is less evident than in rivers.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

How a cation is formed by an atom?​
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Cations are positively charged atoms and hence we need to make the atom positively charged in order to get a cation

We know that an atom is neutral as a whole, so we have equal number of electrons and protons

since we cannot mess with the number of protons in an atom, we have to do it by altering the number of electrons

If we reduce the amount of electrons in an atom, the net charge will be positive and hence a cation will be formed
