Atomic number = 15 (11=4)
no of electrons = no of protons (atomic number)
no of electrons = 15

The complete sentence is:

The atomic number of phosphorus is  15. It has zero charge because it has 15 electrons.

Explanation:

The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus. The atomic number of sodium is 11, so if the phosphorous is the fourth element to the right of sodium in the periodic table, it must have 4 protons more than sodium, therefore its atomic number is

11+4=15

For an atom, the atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons, so the atom of phosphorous has 15 electrons. Each proton has a charge of +1, while each electron has a charge of -1, therefore the total charge of the atom is

+15-15=0

In each cycle, a heat engine an input of 1940 J of heat and exhausts 1480 J of heat. What is the thermal efficiency?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

0.237 (23.7 %)

Explanation:

The thermal efficiency of an engine is given by:

\eta=\frac{W}{Q_{in}}

where

W is the useful work output of the engine

Q_{in} is the heat in input

Here we have:

Q_{in}=1940 J

and the work done is the total heat in input minus the heat exhausted:

W=1940 J - 1480 J=460 J

So, the efficiency is

\eta=\frac{460 J}{1940 J}=0.237 (23.7 %)

The correct answer is:
<span>C: in the protons and neutrons of an atom

In fact, the nuclear energy refers to the binding energy of the nucleons (protons and neutrons) of an atom. The protons and the neutrons are held together by the strong nuclear interaction, one of the four fundamental forces of nature, and the energy associated to this interaction is called nuclear energy.
