also known as heavy hydrogen) is one of two stable isotopes of hydrogen (the other being protium, or hydrogen-1). The nucleus of deuterium, called a deuteron, contains one proton and one neutron, whereas the far more common protium has no neutron in the nucleus.

Answer:

A. a nucleus of one proton and one neutron, which is orbited by one electron.

Explanation:

Isotopes have the same atomic number and different mass number. The atomic number is the numbers of protons in the nucleus and defines each element while the mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

An hydrogen atom with a mass number of two means that its nucleus has one proton and one neutron because the atomic number of hydrogen is 1, otherwise it wouldn’t be hydrogen, so it has 1 proton and to complete the mass number of two it must have 1 neutron.

On the other hand, the atomic model says that the nucleus is orbited by electrons. The number of electrons orbiting the nucleus is given by the atomic number. Then an atomic number of 1 means that 1 electron orbits the nucleus with one proton.

3. What is the mass of an object with a volume of 4 L and a density of 1.25 g/mL?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

5000g

Explanation:

mass= density × volume

Since the unit of density here is g/mL, we need to convert the volume to mL.

1L= 1000mL

4L= 4 ×1000 = 4000 mL

Mass of object

= 1.25 ×4000

= 5000g

A geologist is studying the shore along a river. She finds a pile of rocks at the base of a riverbank. These broken rock pieces
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The scientist who studies the earth constituent like solids, gas and liquid is called a geologist. Weathering and erosion are the correct blanks.

<h3>What are weathering and erosion?</h3>

The process of the deterioration of any solid particles like minerals, soils and rocks is called weathering. It occurs due to biochemical substances, atmospheric gases and water pressure.

The process of the transportation of the rocks and mineral particles away from their original position is called erosion it is due to forceful air and water.

The rocks moved from their original place to some another due to weathering and this process of their transportation is called erosion.

Therefore, <u>weathering </u>and <u>erosion </u>are the correct blanks.

If Oxygen were to gain 2 electrons, the new electron configuration for the oxide ion
Naddika [18.5K]
It would be most similar to neon. it wouldn’t be sulfur because that’s in the same group as oxygen and has the same number of electrons. and carbon has less than that so the only one that makes sense is neon
