Answer:

It would be an isotope.

Background Information:

Isotopes are typically elements that have a different number of protons than neutrons. The atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons. The atomic number is the number of protons.

Explanation:

If the atomic number is the number of protons that means that this particular element has 8 protons. If the atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons then we can simply take away the amount of protons from that number, 18 - 8 = 10. If we take protons away from the number of protons and neutrons we are left with the number of neutrons. So there are 10 neutrons. Because there are 8 protons and 10 neutrons, or a different amount of neutrons and protons we know that this particular atom is an isotope.

Explain how matter changes from one state to another such as liquid
beks73 [17]

Answer:

When heated or cooled, matter can transform from one state to another. When you heat ice (a solid), it turns into water (a liquid). MELTING is the term for this transformation. When water is heated, it becomes steam (a gas).

For an experiment, you place 15 g of ice with a temperature of -10 C into a cup and label
melamori03 [73]
The correct answer is c. Temperature is the average kinetic energy of a sample so if two samples have the same temperature they will also have the same average kinetic energy. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
