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.

A crow flies 100 meters east in 5 minutes. What is the crow’s velocity?​
torisob [31]

<em>Answer:</em>  20 m/min east

<em>Explanation:</em>  The speed is distance divided by time

distance between start-point and end-point = 100 meters

<em>time to cover the distan</em>ce  =  5 minutes

100 m ÷ 5 min = 20 m/min east

y<u>ou have to add east since velocity is the measure of speed and direction and your answer needs to include the direction</u>

Which of the following measurements is used to measure the enthalpy of combustion? A. None of these B. Measuring the change in t
DaniilM [7]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a substance, the total energy of its molecular motion is known as heat. Whereas when we measure the average energy of molecular motion of a substance then it is known as temperature.

So, any increase or decrease in temperature will lead to change in heat of a substance.

When one mole of a substance is burned then the amount of energy released  in the form of heat is known as heat of combustion.

Relation between heat and temperature is as follows.

                    q = m \times C \times \Delta T

Thus, we can conclude that to measure the enthalpy of combustion it cannot be measured, only calculated using the equation; q = mc \Delta T.
