The chemical nature of an atom, that is , the chemical properties of a specific element, is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus<span>. This number of protons is called the </span>atomic number<span>. The mass of the atom, its atomic mass, depends upon both the number of protons and upon the number of neutrons present in the nucleus (remember that the mass of an electron is so small that it is simply ignored for the purpose of establishing the atomic mass).</span>The difference between atoms, ions and isotopes is the number of subatomic particles.<span> An atom is the basic building block of matter, the smallest molecule of an element that exists and that cannot be chemically divided by ordinary means. Each atom is comprised of protons, neutrons and electrons. In ions, the number of electrons differs, and in isotopes.

Answer:
- 1. Inform the teacher
- Use appropriate cut-resistant gloves to handle broken glass.
- Use forceps, tongs, scoops, or other mechanical devices for removing or retrieving broken glass from the work area or a fume hood.
- A dustpan and brush should be used to clean up shards/small pieces of broken glass, Pasteur pipettes, or shards of glass.
Explanation:
Never use broken or chipped glassware. ... Dispose of the glassware in the proper container. Glassware that is chipped, cracked or broken can cause cuts. Material placed in broken or chipped glassware may leak.
Hope this helps!!!!!!!

Plants<span> produce hormones and </span>respond to external stimuli<span>, growing towards sources of water and light, which they need to survive. A tropism is a growth in </span>response<span> to a </span>stimulus<span> and an auxin is a </span>plant<span> hormone produced in the stem tips and roots, which controls the direction of growth.</span>
Answer:
c. Directional selection
Explanation:
Directional selection is a type of natural selection that occurs when selective pressure favors one extreme phenotype over any other phenotype existing in a population. Only one extreme phenotype is favored over time.
A good example of directional selection is the natural selection that occurs in giraffes, where alleles for long necks were favored against alleles for short necks as a result of selection pressure among the different phenotypes. Over time, giraffes having long necks dominated the population as the distribution of length of neck shifts towards the phenotype for long necks.
