Answer:

For isotope we can say

Atomic Number = Number of protons = 7

Number of neutrons = 10

So isotope is given as X-17

Explanation:

As we know that isotope is defined as the atoms which have same number of protons but different number of Neutrons

So isotopes must have same atomic number or same number of protons

But since they have different neutrons so they must have different mass number

So here we can say

it must have atomic Number = Number of protons = 7 protons

Number of Neutrons = 10

Mass Number = Number of Neutrons + number of protons

Mass Number = 7 + 10 = 17

So it is given as X-17

Atomic Number is 7, because isotopes contain the same number of protons. The mass number is 17, because protons + neutrons = mass number.

Which of the following statements is FALSE?
Levart [38]

A thrust fault is a reverse fault with an extremely high dip (close to 90°). This is the false statement.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Faults are the fracture or fracture zone occurring on the rocks. These fractures can travel through the rocks leading to massive destruction. So, depending upon the direction of their travel, the faults can be classified as normal, reverse and strike slip fault. Also, the angle of dip along the fault is one of the important criteria for determining the type of faults.

There is dip-slip fault which has its movement along the vertical fault plane while the strike slip fault will be in horizontal direction. Similarly, an oblique fault will be acting in both vertical and the horizontal direction. So, the fourth statement related to thrust fault is false as in reverse fault or thrust fault the dip will be shallow and not high.

Does the number of particles change as the substance changes its state?​
Leviafan [203]

Particles stay the same unless there is a chemical change whether the matter is solid, liquid or gas. ... When substances change state there is no change in mass so if 100 g of ice is melted 100g of water are formed this will boil to form 100g of steam (this is called "conservation of mass").
