Answer : The correct answer is, (c) the number of neutrons

Explanation :

Isotope : It is defined as the element that have the same number of protons but have the different number of neutrons of each of the atom.

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons.

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number

For example : For Carbon - 13 isotope.

Mass number = 13

Atomic number = 6

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number

Number of neutrons = 13 - 6 = 7

Hence, the difference between the mass number of an isotope and its atomic number is the number of neutrons.

Define the boiling and evaporation using kinetic theory
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

By the kinetic molecular theory (particle model), all matter consists of particles, there are spaces between the particles, the particles are in constant random motion, and there are forces of attraction and repulsion between the particles.

Furthermore, temperature is defined to be a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.

Evaporation is a change of phase from liquid to gas explained as follows :

When particles in the liquid phase are heated, they gain kinetic energy and move faster and further apart. Eventually they have enough energy to escape the forces of attraction holding them together in the liquid phase and they move very fast and far from each other and exist in the gaseous phase.

23492u undergoes alpha decay. what is the atomic number of the resulting element.
mash [69]
Alpha decay involves the loss of an alpha particle, aka a helium nucleus. This results in the mass number of the original element decreasing by 4 and the atomic number decreasing by 2. Assuming 23942u is uranium (92), the resulting element's atomic number is 90, making it thorium.
