Neutrons keep the Protons "in check", meaning Protons hold a very strong repulsive positive charge. The Neutrons counteract the repulsive force within a small space to keep the Nucleus stable.

I hope this helps! :)

ASAPPP. Describe how you could determine the specific heat of a sample of a solid substance. You may
Allushta [10]

Answer:

I would use calorimetric to determine the specific heat and I would measure the mass of a sample

Explanation:

I would use calorimetry to determine the specific heat.

I would measure the mass of a sample of the substance.

I would heat the substance to a known temperature.

I would place the heated substance into a coffee-cup calorimeter containing a known mass of water with a known initial temperature.

I would wait for the temperature to equilibrate, then calculate temperature change.

I would use the temperature change of water to determine the amount of energy absorbed.

I would use the amount of energy lost by substance, mass, and temperature change to calculate specific heat.

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

0.47dm³

Explanation

Given parameters :

Molarity of NaCl = 6.67M

Number of moles = 3.12mol

Volume of NaCl =?

Volume of NaCl = number of moles/Molarity

Volume of NaCl = 3.12mol/6.67M

Volume of NaCl = 0.47dm³

Ionization energy is a measure of the ability of atoms to attract electrons within a bond. True False
Xelga [282]

Answer:

The correct option is False

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the <em>minimum amount of energy required to remove a valence electron from one mole of an atom in it's gaseous state</em>. Ionization energy requires the removal of an electron from a gaseous atom. The definition in the question is that of electronegativity.

Electronegativity is the <u>ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond.</u>
