Answer:

Stable atom

Explanation:

A stable atom is one that has a balanced nuclear inter-particle force reaction as such the binding energy of a stable atom is sufficient to permanently keep the nucleus as one unit. Examples of a stable atom are the atoms of monoisotopic elements such as fluorine, sodium, iodine, gold, aluminium, and cobalt.

In a stable atom the expected number of proton, neutron, and electron are present while in an unstable atom or radioactive atom, there are more than the expected number of neutrons or protons, such that the internal energy of the nucleus is excessive and more than the binding energy, which can lead to radioactive decay.

Is the alien theory a scientific claim? Why or why not?

spin [16.1K]

I'm not sure what the alien Theory says or if there really is such a theory. If the theory says that aliens definitely exist and that they have visited Earth in the past then the theory is totally and completely without any kind of support. It's not scientific in any way because there is no evidence for such a claim. It may be thought to be probable but no solid evidence has ever been presented.

Answer:

Displacement method of volume measurement is no suitable

Explanation:

Displacement method of volume measurement is no suitable for the objects that do not get immersed into the water completely because of the hindrance in accuracy of the measurement.

Select the statement that best describes gravity.

pav-90 [236]

Explanation:

Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects. It depends upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects. Mathematically, the force of gravity is given by :

$F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}$

Where

G is the universal gravitational constant

$m_1\ and\ m_2$ are masses

d is the distance between two masses

So, statement (2) describes gravity "Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects; it is dependent upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects".

How much heat is required to convert 2.55g of water at 28 degrees c to steam?

pantera1 [17]

There are two different processes here:
1) we must add heat in order to bring the temperature of the water from $28^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$ (the temperature at which the water evaporates)
2) other heat must be added to make the water evaporates

1) The heat needed for process 1) is
$Q_1=m C_s \Delta T$
where
$m=2.55 g$ is the water mass
$C_s = 4.18 g/J^{\circ}C$ is the water specific heat
$\Delta T=100^{\circ}C-28^{\circ}C=72^{\circ}C$ is the variation of temperature of the water
If we plug the numbers into the equation, we find
$Q_1 = (2.55 g)(4.18 J/g^{\circ}C)(72^{\circ}C)=767.4 J$

2) The heat needed for process 2) is
$Q=m L_e$
where
$m=2.55 g$ is the water mass
$L_e = 2264.7 J/g$ is the latent heat of evaporation of water
If we plug the numbers into the equation, we find
$Q_2=(2.55 g)(2264.7 J/g)=5775.0 J$

So, the total heat needed for the whole process is
$Q=Q_1+Q_2=767.4 J+5775.0 J=6542.4 J$
