Answer:

b. Charge is the main difference

Explanation:

This is a theory question which you just need to understand and remember the concepts.

Protons and neutrons are relatively the same sizes.

The charges here are defined, protons are positively charged and neutrons have no charge (electrically neutral).

Both are located in the nucleus of an atom.

Proton radiation rarely occurs and neutron radiation is a form of ionizing radiation in cases typically of nuclear fission or nuclear fusion.

The most likely answer is that the charge is the main difference. This is also a basic concept so this would be the answer.

quester [9]
Atoms of elements below atomic number 20 do not split because of stable nucleus.
Stability of nucleus is determined by neutron/proton ratio.
For light stable nuclides, number of protons ans neutrons are same. For heavy nuclides, number of neutrons is more than the number of protons.

Here the type of decay is alpha decay because number of nucleons(protons and neutrons) changes.
Hence option d is correct.

show transcribed data consider two organic molecules, ethanol and benzene. one dissolves in water and the other does not. why? t
aalyn [17]

Benzene lacks a polar O-H bond, but ethanol does. Benzene C6H6 with ethanol C2H6O.

Benzene fails the iodoform test, whereas ethanol does.

While ethanol burns with a non-luminous flame, benzene produces a sooty flame.

Iodoform testing shows that ethanol passes whereas benzene does not.

In contrast to benzene, which generates a sooty flame, ethanol burns with a non-luminous flame.

Water does not mix with benzene, but organic solvents do.

It is a colorless liquid with a pleasant scent.

Benzene has a high melting point and a moderate boiling point.

It burns with a sooty flame and is quite flammable.

A clear, colorless liquid, ethanol has a distinct flavor of burning with a nice aroma. It has high flammability. Ethanol combines easily with water and a variety of organic liquids and is used to dissolve other chemical compounds.
