Here’s a simplified explanation.
The <em>protons</em> in the nucleus <em>repel each other</em>. The <em>neutrons provide the “glue”</em> that holds the nucleus together and prevents it from flying apart.
The “glue” is the strong nuclear force. It is strong but extremely short range. It falls off extremely rapidly as the p-n distance increases.
A <em>neon atom</em> has 10 protons. There are three stable isotopes, with 10, 11, and 12 neutrons.
With fewer than 10 protons, the glue is not strong enough to hold the nucleus together.
If there are more than 12 neutrons, the average p-n distance is great enough that the glue has again become too weak.
<em>Gold</em> has one stable isotope. It contains 79 protons and 118 neutrons.
If there are fewer than 118 neutrons, the proton repulsions will be too strong for the strong force. If there are more than 118 neutrons, the average p-n distance will be large enough that the glue will again be too weak to hold the nucleus toge

Answer:
The use of phenol (carbolic acid) as a wound disinfectant was first practiced by Lister. The correct option is E
Explanation:
Phenol( carbolic acid) is an aromatic organic compound. It has the following properties:
- it's soluble in water
- it's a weak acid and
- highly reactive toward electrophilic aromatic substitution
In Medical field, phenol was first used as an antiseptic by Joseph Lister.Joseph Lister was a student at University College London under Robert Liston, later rising to the rank of Surgeon at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. He believed that patients who passed through surgery, died due to infections caused by microorganisms.He theorized that if germs could be killed or prevented, no infection would occur. Lister reasoned that a chemical could be used to destroy the micro-organisms that cause infection. He made use of the carbolic acid by soaking a clean cloth in them, and placing it over the surgical wounds of patients.
Answer:
1.15 M
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Initial volume (V₁): 0.125 L
- Initial concentration (C₁): 3.00 M
- Final volume (V₂): 0.325 L
- Final concentration (C₂): ?
Step 2: Calculate the final concentration of the solution
We want to prepare a dilute solution from a concentrated one by adding water. We can calculate the concentration of the dilute solution using the dilution rule.
C₁ × V₁ = C₂ × V₂
C₂ = C₁ × V₁/V₂
C₂ = 3.00 M × 0.125 L/0.325 L = 1.15 M
Answer:
Explanation:
Anscombe is a philosopher who has approached contemporary themes, today enormously current, precisely in the ethical and social field, stimulating the development of virtue ethics as an alternative to utilitarianism, Kantian ethics and social contract theories. Anscombe argues that what we understand as a moral obligation, what we "must" do, is an obligation to God.
