Chemistry

Answer:

  • <em><u>True</u></em>

Explanation:

Every element is constituted by atoms with the same atomic number, which is the number of protons in their nuclei. So, all the atoms of a same element have the same number of protons.

For instance, the element sodium has atomic number 11, and all its atoms have 11 protons.

The atomic number identifies uniquely every element.

In the atomic nuclei there are protons and neutrons. Neutrons can vary from one atom of a particular element to another atom of the same element. That is what the term isotope accounts for. Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number and different number of neutrons.

Most elements have different isotopes. The atomic mass of fifferent isotopes of a particular element will differ among them, because the neutrons account for the mass.

How does a greenhouse keep radiant energy from escaping?
Rina8888 [55]
Greenhouse effect is the process of trapping sun radiation in the earth surface, so as to make the planet warm. It is a natural phenomenon in which sun rays that enters the earth surface are re-radiated into the earth surface causing the heat trap in the earth.
In similar manner, green house also trap radiation inside the glass house. The sun rays once reach inside the glass house, strike on plants and objects and reflected back. For entire radiation to escape from the green house, the heat flow between the two points must be proportional to the temperature difference and thermal conductivity. The glass of which the green house are made up, have low thermal conductivity. So, temperature must rise inside glass house so to maintain the heat flow rate of incoming and outgoing radiation.
The green house glass are insulated and they trap the infrared emitted by the objects inside the green house from escaping outside. Since the infrared have longer wave lengths, it is released slowly. 

Also, the thermal energy inside the glass house are transferred by convection process. But the glass walls and roof act as insulator, keeping the radiant energy from escaping outside the green house.<span />
