Answer:

D. Time and pressure changes dead plant material to peat.

Explanation:

There are four steps in the production of coal: peat, lignite, bituminous and anthracite.

Peat: in this stage dead plants are oxidized to water and carbon dioxide and buried under sediments. The partial decomposition of plant matter due to the absence of oxygen is called peat. There is no factor of time and pressure that changes dead plant material to peat.

Lignite: Peat is subjected to heat, pressure, and time to form lignite.

Bituminous: More pressure in lignite removes all the traces of plant matter and form “soft coal”, bituminous coal.

Anthracite: It is the last stage, in which hard coal forms with the combined pressure and high temperature.

Hence, the correct answer is "D. Time and pressure changes dead plant material to peat."

Which description best characterizes the motion of particles in a solid
bixtya [17]
<span>The movement of particles within a solid is extremely slow when compared to that of a gas. It is also significantly slower in movement than that of the movement found within the particles of liquid. The more movement present and the faster the movement of the particles the more space will be present between each particle. This causes the material to spread out as they become less densely packed within a solid material.</span>

What is happening to the protons in the nucleus and the number of orbits as you move across the periodic table from left to righ
baherus [9]

Explanation:

As you move across the periodic table, the number of protons and neutrons increases but the number of orbital levels of the period remains the same. The atomic radii therefore decrease, across the period, because the increase in proton number causes an increased pull of the orbital electrons bringing them closer to the nucleus.

As you move down a group in a periodic table, the number of orbital levels increase.  The effective nuclear charge of the nucleus of the atoms decreases due to the increased number of orbital levels that shield the valence electrons from the attractive force nucleus.

Un átomo neutro tiene número atómico 1 y número másico 3. Indica cuántos protones, neutrones y electrones tiene.
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

El átomo podes 1 protón, 1 electrón y 2 neutrones.

Explanation:

Cada elemento químico se caracteriza por el número de protones de su núcleo, que se denomina número atómico Z. Es decir, el número atómico​ de un elemento químico es el número total de protones que tiene cada átomo de ese elemento.

Los protones poseen carga positiva y se encuentran en el núcleo, en torno al cual se mueven otras partículas con carga eléctrica negativa que son los electrones. Así, el átomo es eléctricamente neutro, ya que la carga positiva de los protones está compensada por la carga negativa de los electrones.  Entonces, en todo átomo neutro el número de protones del núcleo es igual al de electrones de sus orbitales.

En este caso, un átomo neutro tiene número atómico 1. Entonces la cantidad de protones y electrones presentes en el átomo es 1.

En el núcleo de cada elemento, además de protones, también es posible encontrar neutrones, cuyo número puede variar. La masa atómica (A) se obtiene sumando el número de protones y de neutrones de un núcleo determinado:

Número másico (A) = número de protones + número de neutrones

En este caso, el átomo neutro posee 1 protón y su número másico es 3. Entonces:

3= 1 + número de neutrones

Resolviendo:

3 - 1= número de neutrones

2= número de neutrones

Entonces,<u><em> el átomo podes 1 protón, 1 electrón y 2 neutrones.</em></u>
