A. an ion
The atom gains a net electrical charge if the number of protons and electrons are not equal which makes it an ion.
Answer:
Explanation:
Combustion releases energy in a single step in the form of light and heat. Whereas in respiration, energy is released in steps and is stored in the form of ATP.
Answer:
B. The number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical formula.
Explanation:
It is not always true that the number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical formula.
The chemical formulae of a compound are of two main types;
- The empirical formula is that which expresses the composition of a compound in the simplest whole number ratio.
- The molecular formula shows the actual ratio of the atoms in a compound.
Sometimes the number of atoms in the molecular and empirical formula can be the same.
Also, the number of atoms in the molecular formula is always greater than that of the empirical formula when they are not the same.
Answer:
3
Explanation:
Applying,
= R/R'............... Equation 1
Where n' = number of halflives that have passed, R = Original atom of the substance, R' = atom of the substance left after decay.
From the question,
Given: R = 40 atoms, R' = 5 atoms
Substitute these values into equation 1
= 40/5
= 8
= 2³
Equation the base,
n' = 3
