Answer:

d. Electrons have a negative charge and are lighter than protons

Explanation:

The best statement that describes electrons is that electrons are negatively charged and are lighter than protons.

There are three known subatomic particles which are:

Protons which are the positively charged particles within an atom.
Electrons are the negatively charged particles
Neutrons do not carry any charges.

The mass of the protons and neutrons are similar.

Electrons are lighter than both protons and neutrons.

Answer:

Iron is the element that is produced at the limit of the reaction.

Explanation:

In nuclear fusion 2 lighter nuclei are combined together into a single nucleus releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process.

Up to fusion of iron the reaction of fusion is exothermic but when iron atom pops out the reaction becomes endothermic and it requires very high amount of energy to fuse iron atoms which is not available thus marking an end to the fusion reaction.

A student is doing an experiment to determine the effects of temperature on an object. He writes down that the initial temperatu

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative

2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK

Explanation:

The temperature of an object can be written using different temperature scales.

The two most important scales are:

- Celsius scale: the Celsius degree is indicated with ºC. It is based on the freezing point of water (placed at 0ºC) and the boiling point of water (100ºC).

- Kelvin scale: the Kelvin is indicated with K. it is based on the concept of "absolute zero" temperature, which is the temperature at which matter stops moving, and it is placed at zero Kelvin (0 K), so this scale cannot have negative temperatures, since 0 K is the lowest possible temperature.

The expression to convert from Celsius degrees to Kelvin is:

$T(K)=T(^{\circ}C)+273.15$

Therefore in this problem, since the student reported a temperature of -3.5 ºK, the errors done are:

1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative

2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK
