Phosphorus has an atomic mass of 31 and an atomic number of 15, so the number of neutrons must be _______________.

Chemistry

Remember this:

atomic mass= atomic number + number of neutrons 

The atomic number (same thing as number of protons) in this case is 15. The atomic mass is 31. 

So, we subtract 15 from 31 to find the number of neutrons.

31-15=16 

16 neutrons!!!

Which process would require the least amount of energy?
Aleksandr [31]
Answer:<span> a) the process for the first ionization energy
</span>
<span>Every time you take a electron you're requiring more and more energy. Expelling the first one will require less energy than expelling the second and the second will require less than the third, and so on.
When you take the first one, the atom becomes positive and with that the negative forces of the electron will be more attracted to the positive charge. The more electrons that are lost, the more positive this ion will become, causing it to be more difficult to separate the electrons from the atom.

How is electromagnetic energy transformed into heat energy
olga2289 [7]
Radiant Energy is electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves. Radiant energy includes visible light, x-rays, gamma rays and radio waves. Light is one type of radiant energy. Sunshine is radiant energy, which provides the fuel and warmth that make life on Earth possible. 

<span>Heat travels from the sun by a process called radiation. Radiation is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves. When infrared rays strike a material, the molecules in that material move faster. In addition to the sun, light bulbs, irons, and toasters radiate heat. When we feel heat around these items, however, we are feeling convection heat (warmed air molecules) rather than radiated heat since the heat waves strike and energize surrounding air molecules. </span>

<span>A light bulb changes the chemical energy of the bulb into electromagnetic radiation, or light. Which in return gets transformed into heat (have you ever touched a light bulb? ouch!). </span>

When you heat up coffee in a microwave, you are transforming electromagnetic energy into heat.http://www.svsu.edu/mathsci-center/uploa... 

<span>People have started to utilize electromagnetic energy in the form of solar power, using solar panels to gather the radiant energy that comes from the sun and use it for electricity. For example, a pool that has solar heating panels. </span>
