Answer:

They all have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

Explanation:

These are called isotopes. Isotopy is the existence of two or more atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to the differences in the number of neutrons in their various nuclei.

The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. For a neutral atom, it is the same as the number of electrons.

The mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom.

silicon-28 (28Si)

silicon-29 (29Si)

silicon-30 (30Si)

All of these isotopes have an atomic number of 16

Now let us chech for the neutrons:

 Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number:

for silicon-28 (28Si)  : 28-16 = 12 neutrons

     silicon-29 (29Si) :   29-16 = 13 neutrons

     silicon-30 (30Si):    20-16 = 14 neutrons.

2. The diagram below shows steps in the exothermic chemical reaction of bromomethane with
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

1. Balanced equation

HQ⁻ + CH₃-Br ⟶ HQ-CH₃ + Br⁻

(I must use HQ because the Brainly Editor thinks the O makes a forbidden word)

2. Mechanism

HQ⁻ + CH₃-Br ⟶[HQ···CH₃···Br]⁻⟶ HQ-CH₃ + Br⁻

        A                           C                         B

The hydroxide ion attacks the back side of the carbon atom in the bromomethane (A).

At the same time as the Q-H bond starts to form, the C-Br bond starts to break.

At the half-way point, we have a high-energy intermediate (C) with partially formed C-O and C-Br bonds.

As the reaction proceeds further, the Br atom drops off to form the products — methanol and bromide ion (B).

3. What is the energy of a photon whose frequency is 5.2 x 1015 Hz? Use the equation: E = hxv
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

3. 3.45×10¯¹⁸ J.

4. 1.25×10¹⁵ Hz.

Explanation:

3. Determination of the energy of the photon.

Frequency (v) = 5.2×10¹⁵ Hz

Planck's constant (h) = 6.626×10¯³⁴ Js

Energy (E) =?

The energy of the photon can be obtained by using the following formula:

E = hv

E = 6.626×10¯³⁴ × 5.2×10¹⁵

E = 3.45×10¯¹⁸ J

Thus, the energy of the photon is 3.45×10¯¹⁸ J

4. Determination of the frequency of the radiation.

Wavelength (λ) = 2.4×10¯⁵ cm

Velocity (c) = 3×10⁸ m/s

Frequency (v) =?

Next, we shall convert 2.4×10¯⁵ cm to metre (m). This can be obtained as follow:

100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

2.4×10¯⁵ cm = 2.4×10¯⁵ cm × 1 m /100 cm

2.4×10¯⁵ cm = 2.4×10¯⁷ m

Thus, 2.4×10¯⁵ cm is equivalent to 2.4×10¯⁷ m

Finally, we shall determine the frequency of the radiation by using the following formula as illustrated below:

Wavelength (λ) = 2.4×10¯⁷ m

Velocity (c) = 3×10⁸ m/s

Frequency (v) =?

v = c / λ

v = 3×10⁸ / 2.4×10¯⁷

v = 1.25×10¹⁵ Hz

Thus, the frequency of the radiation is 1.25×10¹⁵ Hz.

Answer:

Decomposers (either Secondary Consumer or Tertiary Consumer)

Explanation:

Decomposers eat dead materials and break them down into chemical parts. ... They keep the ecosystem free of the bodies of dead animals or carrion. They break down the organic material and recycle it into the ecosystem as nutrients. Vultures, Blowflies, hyenas, crabs, lobsters and eels are examples of scavengers.
