Answer:

Proton, neutron, electron

Explanation:

The atom consists of a nucleus, where almost all the mass is concentrated, and electrons orbiting around the nucleus.

The nucleus consists of two types of particles:

- Proton: it has a mass of $1.6726\cdot 10^{-27} kg$ , and a positive electric charge of +e ( $1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ )

- Neutron: it has a mass of $1.6749 \cdot 10^{-27}kg$ , and it has no electric charge

The third particle that makes an atom is the electron, that orbit around the nucleus:

- Electron: it has a mass of $9.1094\cdot 10^{-31}kg$ , and it has a negative electric charge of -e ( $-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ )

How is heat related to phase changes

bekas [8.4K]

The heat is used to break the bonds between the ice molecules as they turn into a liquid phase. Since the average kinetic energy of the molecules does not change at the moment of melting, the temperature of the molecules does not change.

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. What best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter?

Marina86 [1]

The speed of sound is greater in ice (4000 m/s), then in water (1500 m/s), then in air (340 m/s). The explanation for this is the differente state of the matter in the three cases.

In fact, sound waves travel faster in solids (like ice), then in liquids (like water), then in gases (like air). This is because the speed of the sound wave depends on the density of the medium: the greater the density, the faster the sound wave. This can be easily understood by thinking at how a sound wave propagates: a sound wave is a vibration of molecules, which is transmitted throughout the medium by collision of the molecules. Therefore, the smaller the spacing between the molecules (such as in solids), the more efficient is the propagation, and so the sound wave is faster. On the contrary, there is a large spacing between molecules in gases (such as in the air), so there are less collisions between the molecules and so the wave is not transmitted efficiently, and so it has less velocity.
