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.

<u>The answer is B. Gas molecules are in Constant Motion.</u>

This is supported by the Kinetic Theory of Gases, which it states that the gas particles are in constant random motion, colliding with the container that it's in.

The image shows sedimentary rock layers with index

vichka [17]

Layer 2 and layer 9 are the same relative age.

Explanation:

The statement that best describes the rock layers is that Layer 2 and layer 9 are the same relative age..

The relative age is used in placing sedimentary rocks in order of their occurrence.

To do this, we apply the sedimentary laws.

The ones applicable here are:

Principle of superposition states that in an undisturbed sequence, the oldest layer is at the base and youngest on top.
Principle of cross cutting states that a fault and intrusion are younger than the rocks they cut through.
Principle of fossil and fauna succession states that fossils and fauna succeed on another in a determinable form.

We see that layers 2 and 9 have the same fossil and are the same lithological units.
