Explanation:

All resources used in making all products can be traced to their natural origin. What differentiates a natural product from a synthetic one is the level of processing that goes into making synthetic products.

For example, a synthetic product such as plastic is actually derived from natural product.
Instead of using the sap of rubber plants for making this product, scientists engineered a way to produce plastics from petroleum products which are derived from crude oil.
Most synthetic products are merely products of alternate source of manufacturing which are well engineered.

What is the identity of the element, and how many neutrons does it have? An elements most stable ion forms an ionic compound wit

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B. CA, 14

Explanation:

Atoms of elements contain small particles known as electrons, neutrons, and protons. The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons which are at the center of the atom. Electrons on the other hand surrounds the nucleus. Electron has negative charge while proton has a positive charge. The number of neutrons is equivalent to the number of protons . In addition, the number of protons is equal to mass number minus the number of electrons.

For the compound $XCl_{2}$ , it can be broken down into $X^{2+}$ and $2Cl^{-}$ . Its ion has a mass of 34 and 18 electrons which means it has already lost 2 electrons.

Therefore:

For the given element, the number of electrons is 18+2 = 20 electrons.

The number of protons = 34 - 20 = 14.

And the number of neutrons is 14.

Only option B has the correct answer.

When water is released from a dam, what happens?

malfutka [58]

Answer:

Potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy

Explanation:

Once a river is dammed it changes its physical and chemical structure. Damming also changes the biological communities associated with the river and its floodplain. When water is kept behind dams, seasonal flow patterns are usually lost.

A hydroelectric dam converts the potential energy stored in a water reservoir behind a dam to mechanical energy—mechanical energy is also known as kinetic energy. As the water flows down through the dam its kinetic energy is used to turn a turbine.

The variables for part 1 of this experiment include the types of materials, used in the cup, the masses of these materials and t

iVinArrow [24]

So, first off let’s look at what an independent and dependent variable is.

an independent variable doesn’t change when other variables change, therefore making it alone and independent.

a dependent variable changes based on other variables.

so, i don’t have enough information on your experiment to know the answer but think to yourself, what is changing over time based on something else changing (dependent variable) or think does this thing stay the same no matter what (independent variable).

hope this helps!
