Answer:
Option C. 1
Explanation:
Step 1:
Determination of the Neutron of both isotopes. This is illustrated below.
For isotope y xA:
Mass number = y
Atomic number = x
Neutron =..?
Atomic number = proton number = x
Mass number = Proton + Neutron
y = x + Neutron
Rearrange
Neutron = y – x
For isotope (y + 1) xA:
Mass number = y + 1
Atomic number = x
Neutron =.?
Atomic number = proton number = x
Mass number = Proton + Neutron
y + 1 = x + Neutron
Rearrange
Neutron = y + 1 – x
Step 2:
Determination of the difference between the neutron number of both isotopes. This is illustrated below:
For isotope y xA:
Neutron number = y – x
For isotope (y + 1) xA:
Neutron number = y + 1 – x
Difference in neutron number
=> (y + 1 – x) – (y – x)
=> y + 1 – x – y + x
Rearrange
=> y – y + 1 – x + x
=> 1
Therefore, the difference in the neutron number of both isotopes is 1
<span>Out of the following given choices;</span>
<span>a. cliff b. fault </span>
<span>c. plateau d. mountain</span>
<span>The answer is
b. A divergent boundary is a line at which two tectonic plates are moving away from each other. It is caused by the two magma convection currents in the mantle moving in opposing directions (one clockwise, the other anti-clockwise) hence dragging the crust with them. Therefore the biggest force at the boundary on the crust is that of pulling. This causes <span>fractures and faults on the earth’s crust.</span></span>
3. 9
20. 60 (1hour)
To get to 60 from 20 we multiply by three. 3 times 3 is 9.
A is true
B is true
C is true
