Answer;

Sodium (Na)

A single sodium atom has 11 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons.


Explanation;

For any neutral atom, the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons. If an atom loses or gains electrons, it is called an ion.

A sodium atom contains 11 protons, so its atomic number is 11. Mass number is the total of the protons and neutrons together, thus sodium has a mass number of 23.

If carbon dioxide is needed for photosynthesis and water is plentiful, which of the following is likely to occur?
mylen [45]

The right answer is D

The stomata are at the level of the epidermis of the leaves and aerial stems, the place of passage of the gases (carbon dioxide, oxygen, water vapor) which play a fundamental role in the physiology of the plant. These structures (which can be considered as "mini-organs") interactively regulate these exchanges. They are the terrestrial plants that constitute the true interface between the external atmosphere and the internal gas network.

How could the pressure of a gas increase if temperature is constant?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Gay Lussac's Law - states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature. If you heat a gas you give the molecules more energy so they move faster. This means more impacts on the walls of the container and an increase in the pressure.
