Which particles in an atom could demonstrate that opposite charges attract?
2 answers:
Answer:
Choice D. a proton and an electron.
Explanation:
Each proton carries a positive charge of unit.
Each electron carries a negative charge of unit.
As their name suggests, neutrons are neutral. They do not carry any electrostatic charge. Because of that, neutrons can't attract or repel neutrons or protons with electrostatic forces.
On the other hand, electrons and protons carry opposite charges. Therefore, an electron and a proton would attract each other electrostatically.
However, since protons are all positive, two protons would repel each other electrostatically.

Answer:
5.5g of ice melts when a 50g chunk of iron at 80°C is dropped into a cavity
Explanation:
The concept to solve this problem is given by Energy Transferred, the equation is given by,
Where,
Q= Energy transferred
m = mass of water
c = specific heat capacity
Temperature change (K or °C)
Replacing the values where mass is 50g and temperature is 80°C to 0°C we have,
Then we can calculate the heat absorbed by m grams of ice at 0°C, then
How Q_1=Q_2, so
Then 5.5g of ice melts when a 50g chunk of iron at 80°C is dropped into a cavity
