Answer:
<em>Protons:
</em>
- Positively charged particle
- The number of these is the atomic number
- All atoms of a given element have the same number of these
<em>Neutrons: </em>
- Isotopes of a given element differ in the number of these
- The mass number is the number of these added to the number of protons
Explanation:
Protons (<em>positively charged</em>), neutrons (<em>neutral</em>) and electrons (negatively charged) are smaller than an atom and they are the main subatomic particles. The nucleus of an atom is composed of protons and neutrons, and the electrons are in the periphery at unknown pathways.
The <em>Atomic number</em> (Z) indicates the number of protons (
) in the nucleus. Every atom of an element have the <em>same atomic number</em>, thus the <em>same number of protons</em>.
The <em>mass number </em>(A) is the sum of the <em>number of protons</em> () <em>and neutrons</em> (N) that are present in the nucleus: <em>A= Z + N</em>
<em>Isotopes</em> are atoms of the <em>same element </em>which nucleus have the <em>same atomic number</em> (Z), and <em>different mass number (A)</em>, it means the <em>same number of protons</em> () and a <em>different number of neutrons</em> (N). For example, the oxygen in its natural state is a mixture of isotopes:
99.8% atoms with A= 16, Z=8, and N=8
0.037% atoms with A=17, Z=8, and N=9
0.204% atoms with A=18, Z=8, and N=10
Answer:
The behavior of molecules in different phases of matter represents a balance between the kinetic energies of the molecules and the attractive forces between them. All molecules are attracted to each other. The molecules are in the solid-state. At higher temperatures, the kinetic energy of the molecules is higher.
The electromagnet and the permanent magnet -- interact with each other as any two magnets do. The positive end of the electromagnet is attracted to the negative pole of the permanent magnetic field, and the negative pole of the electromagnet is repelled by the permanent magnet's negative pole

This can be done through electrolysis. Electrolysis is the separation of a substance into two or more substances that may differ from each other and from the original substance by passing an electric current through a solution that contains ions.
In the case of copper, we use a copper (II) sulphate solution which we put in a large beaker. The impure copper will be used as the positive electrode (anode) and for the negative electrode (cathode) will be a bar of pure copper.
When the electric current is switched on, the bar of pure copper which is the cathode increases greatly in size as copper ions leave the anode of impure copper and attach to the cathode. The anode becomes smaller and smaller as it loses copper ions until all that is left of it is impurities in form of a sludge beneath it.
