Answer:
The correct option is B
Explanation:
Isotopes of the same element have the same atomic number (number of protons) but different mass number. Hence, <u>all the three naturally occurring carbon isotopes mentioned in the question have 6 protons each. Since the number of protons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of electrons in the same atom, each of these isotopes also have 6 electrons</u>.
However, to determine the number of neutrons in each atom, the number of protons (atomic number) is subtracted from the mass number.
Hence, the number of neutrons in carbon-12 is 12 - 6 = 6
the number of neutrons in carbon-13 is 13 - 6 = 7
the number of neutrons in carbon-14 is 14 - 6 = 8
From the explanation above, <u>it can be noted that the number of protons and electrons in isotopes of the same element are the same while the number of neutrons in these isotopes are different</u>. Hence, the correct option is B
Biotic: Trees. Mosses. Fungi. Mammals. Birds. Reptiles. Insects. Worms.
Abiotic: Rocks. Water. Sunlight. Soil. Minerals. Temperature.
The correct sequence of events is : C,D,B,A.
Iron rich magma in the earth's core heats up because of radiation and the pressure exerted by the other layers of the earth. This heat in the crust trigger convection currents in the mantle. The magma closest to the core will be hotter and therefore less dense than other layers. Being less dense the layer will rise towards the crust, eventually becoming cooler and sinking back down in a circular motion.
The continued circular motion creates electric currents which then generates the magnetic field.
The correct answer is D. Have scaly skin hardened by keratin
