What is the full name for an atom with 20 protons and 14 neutrons?

Chemistry

Rufina [12.5K]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Calcium-34 or ³⁴₂₀ Ca

Explanation:

An atom is always identified by the number of protons it has. Since this atom has 20 atoms, you can identify it by looking on a periodic table for the element with 20 protons, which is calcium. Since this atom also has 14 neutrons (making it an isotope, which is another discussion altogether), you have to make sure that you recognize it in the naming. Proper isotope notation (naming) says you have to write it either as Calcium-34 (in which you add 20 protons and 14 neutrons to get 34) or as ³⁴₂₀ Ca (20 protons + 14 neutrons = 34 on the top and 20 protons on the bottom).

Which is a Characteristic of a non elecrolyte​
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

A nonelectrolyte is a substance that does not exist in an ionic form in aqueous solution. Nonelectrolytes tend to be poor electrical conductors and don't readily dissociate into ions when melted or dissolved. Solutions of nonelectrolytes do not conduct electricity.

In a roller coaster, both the kinetic and potential energy in the car decreases at
Lemur [1.5K]

We can confirm that in a roller coaster, kinetic and potential energy in the car decreases at  each successive hill because of  the force of gravity which converts potential  energy into  kinetic energy.

<h3>What are potential and kinetic energy?</h3>
  • Potential energy is referred to as <em><u>positional energy</u></em>.
  • This means that the object in question gains energy based on its position relative to others.
  • Kinetic energy is the energy of movement.
  • Gravity causes the roller coaster to fall, losing potential energy.
  • This causes it to gain all of the potential energy as kinetic energy.
  • Once at the bottom, the coaster no longer moves and thus loses the kinetic energy as well.

Therefore, we can confirm that gravity is the force that causes the shift from potential energy to kinetic energy and thus causes them both to decrease after each successful hill in the roller coaster.
