The correct answer to the question is parallel.

EXPLANATION:

Before answering the question, first we have to understand a longitudinal wave.

A longitudinal wave is a type of mechanical wave in which the particle vibration is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.

In this type of wave, one will find compression and rarefaction . Compression is the high pressure region where particles are closely aggregated to each other while rarefaction is the low pressure region where particles are far away from each other. Hence, a longitudinal wave is a series of compression and rarefaction.

The transfer of energy occurs from particle to particle. On the other hand, we may say that transfer of energy takes place from compression to rarefaction, and this process is repeated.

Hence, the longitudinal waves transfer energy parallel to the direction of the wave motion.

Atom X contains seven protons and seven neutrons. atom Z contains seven protons and eight neutrons. which of the following state

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A: they are isotopes.

Explanation:

From atom X we know that the number of protons is 7 and the number of neutrons is 7 and from atom Z we know that the number of protons is 7 and the number of neutrons is 8.

Since the number of protons of atom X and atom Z is the same, we have that atom X and atom Z is the same element. The difference in the number of neutrons tells us that atom X and atom Z are isotopes. Remember that an isotope is one element that has atoms with different numbers of neutrons.

The mass number is given by:

$A = p + n$

Where <em>n</em> is the number of neutrons and <em>p </em>is the number of protons.

For atom X and atom Z we have:

$A_{x} = 7 + 7 = 14$

$A_{z} = 7 + 8 = 15$

Hence, they have a different mass number.

We know that the element with 7 protons is nitrogen. The first isotope is $^{14}_{7}N$ and the second isotope is $^{15}_{7}N$ . Both isotopes are stables (they are not radioactive).

Therefore, the correct answer is option A: they are isotopes.

I hope it helps you!
