If an element has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 8 neurons, then what’s the atomic number

Biology
1 answer:
bazaltina [42]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The atomic mass is the number of protons, plus the number of neutrons. In this case, 8 + 6 = 14.

Explanation:

The six protons (atomic number) tells me that this is carbon; the six electrons tell me that this is a carbon atom, rather than a carbon ion (an ion is when the number of electrons does not equal the number of protons, making the atom electrically non-neutral). The eight neutrons tell me that this is an isotope (in other words, a version) of carbon called carbon-14, which happens to be mildly radioactive; and therefore useful to archaeologists in dating human artifacts.

The ocean is divided into distinct zones of marine life. Which three factors are
joja [24]

Answer:

Three factors are used.

The availability  of sunlight.

The distance from shore and

The  water depth.

Explanation:

<u>Availability of Sunlight </u>

The photic zone is the upper part of the ocean  into which sunlight penetrates.

<u>Distance from Shore </u>

The intertidal zone is the strip of land where the  land and ocean meet and overlap, or the zone  between high and low tides.

The neritic zone is the marine-life zone that  extends from the low-tide line out to the shelf  break.

The oceanic zone is the marine-life zone  beyond the continental shelf.

<u>Water Depth</u>

The pelagic zone is open zone of any depth.  Animals in this zone swim or float freely.

The benthic zone is the marine-life zone that  includes any sea-bottom surface regardless of  its distance from shore.

The abyssal zone is a subdivision of the benthic  zone characterized by extremely high pressures,  low temperatures, low oxygen, few nutrients,  and no sunlight
