Answer:

Liquid cannot expand because it can only take up space based on the quantity of the liquid. For example, half a glass of water cannot expand to completely fill the glass because there's only half a glass of water.

I hope this helps! :)

Nickel has chemical symbol Ni and the atomic 28. How many protons,neutrons,and electronic would be found in an atom of nickel-78
ira [324]
In nickel-78, there are 28 protons, 28 electrons, and 50 neutrons.

The protons is always the atomic number.
The electron would always be the atomic number when it's a neutral atom. (Different for isotopes)
The neutrons is always the number that makes up the mass with protons. You can figure it out by subtracting atomic mass by protons. (78-28 = 50)
