Which answer below correctly identifies the type of change and the explanation for the boiling of water?
Lynna [10]

physical change because even though gas formation was observed, the water was undergoing a  state change, which means that its original properties  are preserved

Explanation:

The boiling of water is a physical change because the original properties of the water is preserved.

  • A physical change is the one that alters the physical properties of matter.
  • This kind of change is easily reversible as the water can be cooled back.
  • No new kinds of matter is produced in this kind of change .
  • The molecules of the matter still retains their property after.

During the boiling of water, intermolecular bonds called hydrogen bonds between the water molecules are broken. This makes the individual molecules free.

How many neutrons in an atom of 30p? O a. 17 O b. 30.974 O c. 15 O d. 14 O e. 16
jeyben [28]

Answer:

The correct option is: c. 15

Explanation:

Phosphorous is a chemical element which belongs to the group 15 of the periodic table and has atomic number 15. It is a highly reactive non-metal of the p-group.  

Since, atomic number of an atom is the number of electrons and number of protons for neutral atoms.

So, the number of protons = number of electrons = 15

The atomic mass is obtained by adding the number of neutrons and the protons.

So, number of neutrons + number of protons = 30

So, number of neutrons + 15 = 30

Therefore, the number of neutrons in ³⁰P = 15
