Which of the following would increase friction?

1 answer:

B. Sand.

Sand would definitely increase friction because of the roughness of it surface. When its surface comes with another rough surface it would tend to increase friction. All other options given tend to reduce friction one way or the other.

Answer:

Isotopes of an element have same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Which means isotopes of an element have same atomic number but different mass number.

The chemical property of an element is determined by the number of electrons. And as all the isotopes have same number of electrons, they have same chemical properties.

Thus as isotopes of an element have same atomic number , they have same number of electrons and protons. As they have different mass number, the number of neutrons will be different. Hydrogen has three isotopes , $^1_1\textrm{H}$ , $^2_1\textrm{H}$ and $^3_1\textrm{H}$ . Thus $^1_1\textrm{H}$ has no neutron.
