The number 4 in the 4/2He indicates the atomic mass number of helium.

Answer: Option 3

Explanation:

The elements present in periodic table generally represented as $X_{Z}^{A}$ . Here X will be the element in the periodic table, A is the atomic mass number of the element X and Z is the atomic number of the element X.

So, the number 4 is the atomic mass number of He and He-4 is the stable isotope of helium which can also be termed as alpha particle.

Mass number = number of protons + neutrons count.

Thus the number 4 denotes the Helium's atomic mass number.

1.) What are the chemical properties of matter?

denis23 [38]

Answer:

Chemical properties are properties that can be measured or observed only when matter undergoes a change to become an entirely different kind of matter. They include reactivity, flammability, and the ability to rust. Reactivity is the ability of matter to react chemically with other substances.

Based on the nebular theory of the solar system formation, explain how our solar system is formed.

Alika [10]

the nebular theory states that the solar systems developing rotations revolve around sun. it is located in the milky-way. revolving around the sun, with gravity pulling it, an interstellar cloud of dust and gas, is formed. (i.e. the nebula that we are speaking)

this formation is a protostar. the idea in the theory states that the nebula has flattened into a disk called the "protoplanetary disk"; and over time, the debreis eventually formed this disk. (i.e. creating the milky-way)

hopefully this helped, thank you!! :D

2NH₂ + O₂ → N₂ + 2H₂O

Explanation:

Balancing the equation means, the number of atoms on both sides of the equation must be the same.

In the case of the given equation, we have to find out whether it is balanced or not.

2NH₂ + O₂ → N₂ + 2H₂O

Atoms Number of atoms before balancing after balancing

LHS RHS LHS RHS

N 1 2 2 2

H 2 2 4 4

O 2 1 2 2

To balance the N atoms, we have to put 2 in front of NH₂, and then to balance the H, O atoms, we have to put 2 in front of H₂O, so that each atom in left hand as well as right hand side of the equation was balanced.

During the processes of erosion and deposition, sediments that are the ________ in size will be carried the greatest distances b

Ahat [919]

The full sentences are given below:

1. During the process of erosion and deposition, sediments that are the SMALLEST in size will be carried the greatest distance before being deposited.

Erosion and deposition are the methods by which sand and rock particles are moved from one place to another. The erosion can be caused by water or wind. Water and wind have the capacity to transport particle from one location and deposit them in another location. How far the erosion is able to move the particles depend on the weight of the particles. It is easier for erosion to carry small particles over a long distance than for it to carry large particles over the same distance.

2. Most METAMORPHIC rocks form under conditions found a few kilometer under the earth surface.

Metamorphic rocks generally are formed from existing rocks. The existing rocks are usually subjected to heat and pressure, which cause radical changes in the chemical and physical properties of the rock. Metamorphic rocks can be formed underneath the earth surface if they are subjected to high temperature and pressure by the rock layers above them.
