The right answer is 2.

The number of protons contained in a nucleus (called an atomic number) is characteristic of a chemical element. For a given atomic number, the number of neutrons defines different "types" of this element: isotopes. The variation of the number of protons of the nucleus of an atom, during a nuclear reaction for example, causes a change of the element studied.

Answer: Option (2) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of an atom means the total number of protons and atom contains. Each atom or element has different number of protons.

For example, atomic number of nitrogen is 7 whereas atomic number of sodium is 11.  

This also means that in a nitrogen atom there are 7 protons and in a sodium atom there are 11 protons.

Thus, we can conclude that the property number of protons in the atomic nucleus is the best one to use for identification of an element.

The pH of a solution is measured eight times by one operator using the same instrument. She obtains the following data: 7.15, 7.
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

7.186

Explanation:

The mean is the average of some given data from a sample point.

To calculate the mean, we use the formula below:

             Mean = ∑fx/∑f

Where f = frequency

           x = sample data

   

From the given pH of the solutions, we can form a table:

      x                                     f                                          fx

    7.15                                  1                                         7.15

    7.16                                  1                                         7.16

    7.18                                  1                                         7.18

    7.19                                  1                                         7.19

    7.20                                 3                                        21.6

    7.21                                  1                                         7.21

Now ∑fx = 7.15 +7.16 +7.18 + 7.19 + 7.20 + 7.21 = 57.49

         ∑f = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 1 = 8

The mean = \frac{57.49}{8} = 7.18625 = 7.186

In the context of small molecules with similar molar masses, arrange these intermolecular forces by strength (hydrogen bonding -
Katarina [22]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Arrangement of inter molecular forces from strongest to weakest.

  • Hydrogen bonding
  • Dipole-dipole interactions
  • London dispersion forces.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Intermolecular forces are defined as the attractive forces between two molecules due to some polar sides of molecules. They can be between nonpolar molecules.

Hydrogen bonding is a type of dipole dipole interaction between the positive charge hydrogen ion and the slightly negative pole of a molecule. For example H---O bonding between water molecules.

Dipole dipole interactions are also attractive interactions between the slightly positive head of one molecule and the negative pole of other molecules.

But they are weaker than hydrogen bonding.

London dispersion forces are temporary interactions caused due to electronic dispersion in atoms of two molecules placed together. They are usually in nonpolar molecules like F2, I2. they are weakest interactions.

What is the potential energy of the bowling ball as it sits on top of the building?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Potential energy is energy due to an object's height above the ground.

Potential energy = mass x gravity x height

Kinetic energy is energy due to the motion of the object.

Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity²
