Answer:
Explanation:
One of the properties of a liquid is that, <u>it's particles move freely (not tightly packed)</u> hence the reason for <u>it's free flowing (no definite shape)</u> when shaken in a container, unlike a solid whose <u>particles are tightly packed with restricted/no movement</u> and hence the reason for it's compactness and it's definite shape.
When a plastic solid (whose particle is tightly packed and have a restricted movement/no movement) is placed near a heat source, <u>it's particles gains energy in the process and starts to move (though slightly free) and become less tightly packed</u> hence the reason it is observed that plastic solids near a heat source melts.
From the above, it can be deduced that a liquid and a plastic solid near a heat source <u>have there particles move freely (and not tightly packed) hence making the two substances flow freely with no definite shape.</u>
Answer:
Electrons- 95
Protons- 95
Neutrons-146
Explanation:
An atoms is made up of three fundamental particles; electrons, protons and neutrons,
Americium belongs to the f block in the periodic table. It is an actinide element.
An atom of Am-241 contains 95 protons, 95 electrons and 146 neutrons.
John Dalton
Although the concept of the atom dates back to the ideas of Democritus, the English meteorologist and chemist John Dalton formulated the first modern description of it as the fundamental building block of chemical structures.
