Answer:

A. chemical substance whose atoms all have the same number of protons

Explanation:

An element is a substance which contains identical atoms that have the same number of protons in the nucleus.

Elements are arranged in the periodic table according to their atomic number (= number of protons): so atoms of different elements have a different number of protons in their nuclei.

For a neutral atom, the number of electrons around the nucleus is also equal to the number of protons.

Moreover, atoms of the same element can have a different number of neutrons, despite having the same number of protons - these atoms are called isotopes.

What determines the number of possible sublevels?

Talja [164]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is A. the principal energy level

The principal energy level or principal quantum number n, tell us about the position of an determined electron in the energy levels relative to the greater average distance of an electron from the nucleus, the larger the value of n and the higher its energy.

The principal energy levels contains n sublevels, $n^{2}$ orbitals and $2n^{2}$ electrons.

For example, the number 1, has one orbital which is contained in a energy sublevel, its called s orbital, and it's just an orbital with 2 electrons.

Have a nice day!

Answer:

Just as distance and displacement have distinctly different meanings (despite their similarities), so do speed and velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. A fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a relatively large distance in a short amount of time. Contrast this to a slow-moving object that has a low speed; it covers a relatively small amount of distance in the same amount of time. An object with no movement at all has a zero speed.
