The statement that best describes the composition of potassium chlorate, KCIO3 is "<span> The proportion by mass of elements combined in potassium chlorate is fixed."</span>
An atom of element has there subatomic particles namely, proton, electron and neutron. Here, for a neutral atom, number of proton is equal to number of electron (this is not in the case of ions), this is equal to atomic number of an atom. In an atom, nucleus contains protons and neutrons which is responsible for mass of the atom and electrons move around nucleus in fixed orbits. Thus, atomic mass of an atom is equal to sum of number of protons and neutrons.
Option (b): Proton is the particle in nucleus of an atom, whose total number is equal to atomic number of that atom.
(4) Option (b): Atoms of same element have same atomic number because mass number can be different for different isotopes of atom. Since, atomic number is equal to number of protons, thus, number of protons are same for all atoms of the same element.
(5) Option (d): Isotopes are defined as atoms of same element with same atomic number but different mass number. Thus, correct option is (d) mass numbers.
Well really the right thing to do is find the nearest shower and rinse them off so I believe C. would be the best answer
Explanation:
Claim, Evidence, Reasoning (CER) model, an explanation consists of: A claim that answers the question. Evidence from students' data. Reasoning that involves a rule or scientific principle that describes why the evidence supports the claim.
