Answer: A. are relatively far apart

Explanation:

Compressbility is the ability of compound to reduce in size when pressure is applied.

Gaseous state is a state in which the particles are loosely arranged and have a lot of space between them. Thus molecules can be easily compressed.

They have highest kinetic energy. This state has indefinite volume as well as shape.  The molecules in the gaseous state move faster with an increase in temperature as the kinetic energy increases with increase in temperature.

Thus most gases are easily compressed is that the molecules in a gas are in constant motion are relatively far apart.

Why a neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons
Alex777 [14]

Explanation:

When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. ... Chemically, we say that the atoms have formed bonds.

Determine the mass of 2.4 x 10^24 atoms of gold?​
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Mass = 785.9 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Atoms of gold = 2.4 × 10²⁴ atoms

Mass of gold = ?

Solution:

First of all we will convert the number of atoms into moles.

2.4 × 10²⁴ atoms × 1 mol/ 6.02 × 10²³ atoms

number of moles = 3.99 mol

Now we will determine the mass of gold.

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass =  3.99 mol × 196.97 g/mol

Mass = 785.9 g

Describe how a chemical change follows the law of conservation of matter.<br> give examples pls
Paha777 [63]

Explanation:

In any chemical change, one or more initial substances change into a different substance or substances. ... According to the law of conservation of matter, matter is neither created nor destroyed, so we must have the same number and kind of atoms after the chemical change as were present before the chemical change

Example:

The carbon atom in coal becomes carbon dioxide when it is burned. The carbon atom changes from a solid structure to a gas but its mass does not change.
