Chemistry is the branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change and the use of these processes to form new substances.
The answer is metal. Metals are always named first in ionic compounds, like KNO3 for example. I hope this helps!
Answer:
An atom of neon-20 has one fewer proton and two fewer neutrons than an atom of sodium-23.
Explanation:
Neon - 20 and Sodium - 23
Neon - 20
Protons = 10
Neutrons = 10
Sodium - 23
Protons = 11
Neutrons = 12
With the information above and checking the options;
An atom of neon-20 has one fewer proton and two fewer neutrons than an atom of sodium-23.
This option is correct.
I think that the answer is A because if you think about water for an example. When water turns into ice, it's still technically water, just the molecules are frozen. The water is physically changed. It could also see why you think it is B but I don't think so completely. It doesn't really make sense to me. So I'd choose A. It's definitely not C or D.
