Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a large nucleus there will be large number of protons and neutrons. Since, charge on protons is positive and neutrons have no charge. So, due to the like charges of protons there will be force of repulsion between them.

As there are large number of protons so, force of repulsion will also be large. Whereas a force which is responsible for holding the protons and neutrons together in a nucleus is known as nuclear binding energy.

Hence, when nuclear force of repulsion overcome the nuclear binding energy then the atom becomes unstable in nature.

If an atom is smaller then there will be less number of protons and neutrons. Hence, then nuclear binding energy overcomes the nuclear force of repulsion. Therefore, atom remains stable in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that a large nucleus with many protons and neutrons will most likely be unstable.

Which property of water allows some lightweight insects to walk on top of a pond and not fall in
sergejj [24]

Surface tension is the property of water which allows for some lightweight insects to walk on top of a pond and not fall in. The molecules of water are held together by cohesive forces. The molecules of water present below the surface experience this cohesive force from all the directions, whereas the water molecules present on the surface experience a downward pull, as the force is not balanced. This leads to the concaving of the water surface inside a small tube.

omeli [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A) "cause iron in ocean water and terrestrial rocks to rust (oxidize)".

Explanation:

During ancient times, the reproduction success of plants and cyanobacterias led to the accumulation of oxygen gas in the atmosphere. One early consequence of this accumulation was the oxidation of the iron in ocean water and terrestrial rocks. This phenomenon is the cause of banded iron formations, which formed in seawater and sank to the ocean bed.

Help me with this 2 questions number 3 A and B i mark you as brainlist please
Roman55 [17]
3A- Negative feedback occurs when some function of the output of a system, process, or mechanism is fed back in a manner that tends to reduce the fluctuations in the output, whether caused by changes in the input or by other disturbances.

3B- Negative feedback loops are used to maintain homeostasis and achieve the set point within a system. Negative feedback loops are characterized by their ability to either increase or decrease a stimulus, inhibiting the ability of the stimulus to continue as it did prior to sensing of the receptor.

Hope I’ve helped ;)
