Answer:

The correct option is: c. 15

Explanation:

Phosphorous is a chemical element which belongs to the group 15 of the periodic table and has atomic number 15. It is a highly reactive non-metal of the p-group.

Since, atomic number of an atom is the number of electrons and number of protons for neutral atoms.

So, the number of protons = number of electrons = 15

The atomic mass is obtained by adding the number of neutrons and the protons.

So, number of neutrons + number of protons = 30

So, number of neutrons + 15 = 30

Therefore, the number of neutrons in ³⁰P = 15

Which produces the greatest number of ions when one mole dissolves in water?

Arada [10]

~Hello there!

Your question: Which produces the greatest number of ions when one mole dissolves in water?

Your answer: Na2SO4<span> can dissociate into three ions, whereas the other choices produce only two ions (or in the case of sucrose, none) when dissolved in water.

Any queries ^?

Happy Studying!

Please answerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Answer: I'm in no way like an expert but I've heard water goes from an elevated area to a lower area. So it should be arrows that start at a more elevated to less elevated. Like white to brown, and orange to yellow, and stuff like that. I hope that helped? Anyway, have a lovely day!

What causes gas particles to collide with the walls of their containers?

blondinia [14]

Answer:

Kinetic energy

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a particle is directly proportional to the temperature of it. An increase in temperature increases the speed in which the molecules move, causing t[he particles to collide with the walls of their containers.

A certain material has a density of 0.2 g/ml is this material good for building a bridge or for making cushions for a couch

MArishka [77]

A bridge must be made of metal or concrete or other materials that are strong enough to withstand the forces of the traffic passing over it. I doubt that the material could do that.

If the substance is a metal foam, it would make a rather hard cushion.

If the substance is too soft, it would make a cushion.

If the substance has the right combination of softness and elasticity so that it returns to its original shape when you get up, it might be a good material for a cushion.
