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.

AveGali [126]
An element’s atomic number is equal to the number of protons in that element’s nucleus. The mass number is the total number of an atom’s protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge; electrons have a negative charge; and neutrons are electrically neutral.

Putting it all together, given that the atomic number of lead is 82, the number of protons a lead atom contains is 82. The number of neutrons would be the difference between 207 and 82, or 125 neutrons. Finally, since you have a neutral atom, there must be an equal number of electrons as the number of protons—that is, 82 electrons.

Thus, you’ve got 82 protons, 125 neutrons, and 82 electrons.

Rob measures the solubility of three different salts in water at 22°C. Which type of graph should he use to display his data?. b
sveta [45]
To present his data on the <span>solubility of three different salts in water at 22°C, bar graph should be used since there are different salts and the only variable is the type of salt used. Line graph and scatter plot use two coordinates or variables and is common to comparing data using the same sample while using histogram to find out data distribution is irrelevant.</span>
