Answer:

A particular atom will have the same number of protons and electrons and most atoms have at least as many neutrons as protons. An element is a substance that is made entirely from one type of atom

Explanation:

so In simple terms an atom contains Protons and Electrons and can be found in an Element, but an element comprises of atoms which come together to form up that particular Element

Select the correct answer. Two charged objects, A and B, exert an electric force on each other. What happens if the distance bet

VikaD [51]

Answer:

The electric force between them decreases

Explanation:

The force between two charged particle is given by :

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

Where

r is the distance between charges

If the distance between the charges is increased, the electric force gets decreased as there is an inverse relation between force and distance.

Hence, the correct option is (c) "The electric force between them decreases"

38.5 mol of P4O10 contains how many moles of P?

stellarik [79]

The subscripts tell the ratio of one element to another in a compound. In this case, there are 4 P atoms per 10 O atoms. This could also be interpreted as 4 mol P per 10 mol O. Therefore:

Mol P = (38.5 mol P4O10)/(4 mol P/ 1 mol P4O10) = 154 mol P
