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.

Question 2: Heat (5 points)
Ronch [10]

Answer:

(i) specific heat

(ii) latent heat of vaporization

(iii) latent heat of fusion

Explanation:

i. Q = mcΔT; identify c.

Here, Q is heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat and ΔT is the change in temperature.

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of substance of mass 1 kg by 1 degree C is known as the specific heat.  

ii. Q = mLvapor; identify Lvapor

Here, Q is the heat, m is the mass and L is the latent heat of vaporization.

The amount of heat required to convert the 1 kg liquid into 1 kg vapor at constant temperature.  

iii. Q = mLfusion; identify Lfusion

Here, Q is the heat, m is the mass and L is the latent heat of fusion.  

Here, Q is the heat, m is the mass and L is the latent heat of vaporization.

The amount of heat required to convert the 1 kg solid  into 1 kg liquid at constant temperature.
