Explain how atomic number relates to the number of particles in an atom’s nucleus.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Mrrafil [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Atoms of each element contain a characteristic number of protons. In fact, the number of protons determines what atom we are looking at (e.g., all atoms with six protons are carbon atoms); the number of protons in an atom is called the atomic number. In contrast, the number of neutrons for a given element can vary.

Levart [38]

Answer:

Collisions between gas particles are elastic; there is no net gain or loss of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

When a gas is paced in a container, the molecules of the gas have little or no intermolecular interaction between them. There is a lot of space between the molecules of the gas.

The gas molecules move at very high speed and collide with each other and with the walls of container.

The collision of these particles with each other is perfectly elastic hence the kinetic energy of the colliding gas particles do not change.

The proper answer gets marked brainiest, answer what the question is asking.
Keith_Richards [23]

A substance is an element if it consists of a single type of atom. A substance is a compound if it is made up of more than one element.

<h3>Elements and compounds</h3>

In chemistry, an element is defined as all pure substances consisting of the same atom. For example, magnesium and potassium metal are all elements because they consist of magnesium and potassium atoms only.

On the other hand, compounds are defined as substances consisting of 2 or more atoms of different elements. For example, sodium chloride consists of atoms of sodium and chlorine. Hence, it is considered to be a compound.
