Chemistry

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Solids are the substances whose molecules are closely packed together due strong inter molecular forces between them. This causes the solid to have a fixed shape and volume.

Whereas density is mass divided by per unit volume.

Mathematically,         Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Since, density is proportional to mass. So, more is the mass that is, more is the number of molecules held together by strong forces more will be its density.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement solids are high in density and incompressible, best describes solids.

In my opinion I would pick D. 

Multiple answers could be chosen, just due to the fact that a solid is nothing more than just an object that cannot change it's physical shape into an object; just as water would. a solid can have a low density; such as paper, plastics, or even just a piece of wood. 

But think of a block of ice. You can break it, and crush it. It cannot be formed into any other shape. If you did break it, it only would make more ice fragments. And it's next phase is a liquid; if it were to be melted.

The red arrow is pointed at different locations of an atom of nitrogen. Where is it pointing to the greatest concentration of at
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

option A = In first diagram red arrow pointed towards the greatest concentration of atomic mass.

Explanation:

Every atom consist of nucleus or a positive center. The protons and neutrons are present with in the nucleus while electrons are present out side the nucleus. All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. The number of protons or number of electrons are the atomic number of an atom while the number of protons and number of neutrons are the mass number of an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of protons and electrons. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other.

Nitrogen consist of seven protons and seven neutrons present with in nucleus and seven electrons are present out side the nucleus.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10-31 Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

Neutron and proton:

The neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P+  

Symbol of neutron= n0  

Mass of proton=1.672623×10-27 Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10-27 Kg
