Both protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus of an atom. Changing the number of neutrons in the nucleus would form d

ifferent isotopes of the same element. Which of these BEST describes the outcome of decreasing the number of protons in the nucleus?

By changing the number of protons in an element, you are fundamentally changing it to a different element.

It’s worth remembering that:

Protons identify the element

Electrons determine properties and behavior of the element

Neutrons contribute to isotopes and just help keep everything stable, by separating the charges. Remember opposites attract. Like charges repel.

If we have equal masses of copper at 80oC and water at 20oC and we put them together, what is the final temperature?
Ket [755]

Answer:

The final temperature will be close to 20°C

Explanation:

First of all, the resulting temperature of the mix can't be higher than the hot substance's (80°C) or lower than the cold one's (20°C). So options d) and e) are imposible.

Now, due to the high heat capacity of water (4,1813 J/mol*K) it can absorb a huge amount of heat without having a great increment in its temperature. On the other hand, copper have a small heat capacity (0,385 J/mol*K)in comparison.

In conclusion, the copper will release its heat decreasing importantly its temperature and the water will absorb that heat resulting in a small increment of temperature. So the final temperature will be close to 20°C

<u>This analysis can be done because we have equal masses of both substances. </u>

Atoms have been traditionally viewed as being composed of three different types of particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
sattari [20]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Before the advent of the wave-particle duality theory proposed by Louis de Broglie, there was a sharp distinction between mater and waves.

However, Louis de Broglie introduced the idea that mater could display wave-like properties.  Erwin Schrödinger developed this idea into what is now known as the wave mechanical model of the atom.

In this model, electrons are regarded as waves. We can only determine the probability of finding the electron within certain high probability regions within the atom called orbitals.

This idea has been the longest surviving atomic model and has greatly increased our understanding of atoms.
