The charged subatomic particles in an atom are protons and electrons.

For an atom to be electrically neutral, the number of protons must be equal to the number of electrons to cancel out the charge exerted by the electrons.

Therefore, if the atom has 13 electrons, then the atom also has 13 protons. In other words, the atom has an atomic number of 13.

The mass number of an atom is the sum of the number if the atomic number or number of protons and the number of neutrons. Therefore, it’s mass number is 13+15=28.

Answer:

Explanation:

it states that the atom is neutral, meaning the number of electrons and protons are the same. so if there are 13 electrons, there are 13 protons. And the mass number is neutrons plus protons. So 13+15 is 28

A rectangular block has the following dimensions: 3.21 dm, 5.83 cm, and 1.84 in. The block has a mass of 1.94 kg. What is the de

spin [16.1K]

The density of the rectangular block in g/mL is 7.0.

Given the following data:

Mass of block = 22.8 gra1.94 kg

Length of block = 3.21 cm

Width of block = 5.83 cm

Height of block = 1.84 in.

To find the density of the block in g/mL:

First of all, we would determine the volume of the rectangular block by using the following formula:

$Volume = length$ × $width$ × $height$

Conversion:

1 in = 2.54 cm

5.83 in = X cm

Cross-multiplying, we have:

$X = 2.54(5.83)\\\\X = 14.81 \; cm$

$Volume = 3.21$ × $5.83$ × $14.81$

Volume = 277.16 cubic centimeters.

Note: Milliliter (mL) is the same as cubic centimeters.

1000 grams = 1 kg

Y grams = 1.94 kg

Cross-multiplying, we have:

Y = 1940 grams

Now, we can find the density:

$Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}\\\\Density = \frac{1940}{277.16}$

Density = 7.0 g/mL

Therefore, the density of the rectangular block in g/mL is 7.0.

Discribe how continents and oceans are carried on tectonic plates

Vanyuwa [196]

This question seems to be very basic .the ocean is above the plate, the plate material is heavier than water (it being rock). That's pretty much all of it. The plates grind a little and new land pushes up at plate boundaries but this does not seem to be related. The heavier material is below and the lighter above, those being rock and water respectively.
