The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons
64 = #protons + #neutrons
Find the number of protons given the number of neutrons
64 = #protons + 33
#protons = 31
In a neutral element (such as this), the number of electrons equals the number of protons
#electrons = #protons
#electrons = 31

Answer:

The isotope must have 31 electrons

Explanation:

  • Mass number = (number of neutrons)+(number of protons)
  • Here, mass number of element is 64 and number of neutrons is 33
  • So, number of protons i the element = (mass number)-(number of neutrons) = (64)-(33) = 31
  • Isotope of an element remain present in neutral form.
  • So, number of protons should be equal to number of electrons in that isotope. Because proton has +1 charge and electron has -1 charge
  • So, the isotope must have 31 electrons.

erica [24]

Answer:

1) conduction

2) Radiation

Explanation:

Conduction is a mode of heat transfer by which heat energy is transferred through a material, the average position of the particles of the material remaining the same.

Radiation is a process of heat transfer by which heat is transferred from a hotter to a cooler point without any intervening medium.

The pan used to fry the egg is a conductor of heat hence heat can pass through it by conduction thereby enabling the eggs to cook.

Heat can travel without an intervening medium hence Zoe feels hot near the stove. This ability of the heat to travel without an intervening medium is called radiation.
