Answer:
In chemistry, a symbol is an abbreviation for a chemical element. Symbols for chemical elements normally consist of one or two letters from the Latin alphabet and are written with the first letter capitalised.
Earlier symbols for chemical elements stem from classical Latin and Greek vocabulary. For some elements, this is because the material was known in ancient times, while for others, the name is a more recent invention. For example, Pb is the symbol for lead (plumbum in Latin); Hg is the symbol for mercury (hydrargyrum in Greek); and He is the symbol for helium (a new Latin name) because helium was not known in ancient Roman times. Some symbols come from other sources, like W for tungsten (Wolfram in German) which was not known in Roman times.

Answer:
b. The number of electrons
Explanation:
A "neutral atom" has a <u>neutral charge</u>. This means that <em>its charge is equal to </em><em>zero. </em>In order for the charges to cancel out each other, the atom's <em>positive charge should be equal to the negative charge. </em>These being said, the number of electrons<em> (negatively-charged)</em> is then equal to the number of protons <em>(positively-charged). </em>Those atoms which are not neutral are called <em>"ions."</em> This means that they either have more or less electrons than the protons.
Answer:
The specific heat of aluminium is 0.8792 J/g °C or 0.21 Cal/g °C
Explanation:
Step 1 : Write formule of specific heat
Q=mcΔT
with Q = heat transfer (J)
with m = mass of the substance
with c = specific heat ⇒ depends on material and phase ( J/g °C)
with ΔT = Change in temperature
For this case :
Q = 1680 Calories = 7033.824 J ( 1 calorie = 4.1868 J)
m = 100.0g
c= has to be determined
ΔT = 100 - 20 = 80°C
<u>Step 2: Calculating specific heat</u>
⇒ via the formule Q=mcΔT
7033.824 J = 100g * c * 80
7033.824 = 8000 *c
c = 7033.824 /8000
c = 0,879228 J/g °C
or 0.21 Cal / g°C
The specific heat of aluminium is 0.8792 J/g °C or 0.21 Cal/g °C
