Answer:

A. elements of the same kind with different numbers of neutrons

Explanation:

As we know that an atom is represented by

$_z^AX$

here we know that

z = atomic number

A = atomic number + number of neutrons

now if the number of neutrons in an atom is different but having same number atomic number then the combination of such group of atoms is known as isotopes.

So here we have

$_z^{A_1}X, _z^{A_2}X$

so above is the example of isotopes

Answer:

a it is always zero

b 0

c $\eta = -\epsilon _o E$

Explanation:ss

Here the net charge is on the outer surface of the conductor thus this means that the net charge inside the conductor is zero

Generally the charge density of a conductor is dependent on the charge per unit area which implies that the charge density is dependent on the net charge so this means that the charge density inside the conductor is zero

Generally the direction of electric field this from the positive charge to the negative charge so from the question we can deduce that the negative charge is located on the surface of the conductor

So We can mathematically define the charge density on the surface of the electric field as

∮ $E \cdot dA = \frac{-Q}{\epsilon _o}$

Where E is the electric field

$dA$ change in unit area

$-Q$ is the negative charge

$\epsilon _o$ is the permittivity of free space

$EA = \frac{-Q}{\epsilon _o }$

$\frac{Q}{A} = -\epsilon _o E$

$\eta = -\epsilon _o E$

Where $\eta$ is the charge density

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the melting of ice, and expla

BlackZzzverrR [31]

<span>Melting of ice is an endothermic process, meaning that energy is absorbed. When ice spontaneously melts, ΔH (change in enthalpy) is "positive". ΔS (entropy change) is also positive, because, becoming a liquid, water molecules lose their fixed position in the ice crystal, and become more disorganized. ΔG (free energy of reaction) is negative when a reaction proceeds spontaneously, as it happens in this case. Ice spontaneously melts at temperatures higher than 0°C. However, liquid water also spontaneously freezes at temperatures below 0°C. Therefore the temperature is instrumental in determining which "melting" of ice, or "freezing" of water becomes spontaneous. The whole process is summarized in the Gibbs free energy equation:
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS</span>
