So, we have:
- molecular weight
- shape
- temperature
- kinetic energy
- mass
- density
Let's rule out the different options.
- molecular weight: Say you have a molecule of H2O. H2O can be a solid, liquid, or gas, but its molecular weight never changes throughout (It's still the same molecule, no matter what phase it is in). We can rule this out.
- shape: Let's pretend we have three identical closed containers, and we fill each one halfway with water, blocks of ice cubes, and water vapor. In the container with water, you will see that the water takes the shape of the container, but doesn't fill the entire container up. The ice cubes will stay ice cubes, assuming they don't melt, so they don't take the shape of the container. The vapor will fill up the entire container. Since all three are different, I would say yes, this could be a distinguishable feature.
- temperature: In general, I would say no, because every element/molecule has different boiling points and different vaporization points. So if you have a liquid at 5°C, you could also have a different element in solid form at 5°C. But if you're comparing a single type of molecule, it would have a boiling point and a vaporization point, so you <em>would</em> be able to tell between them.
- kinetic energy: Kinetic energy refers to how much movement there is in respect to each molecule. In solids, the molecules are packed tightly together and can't move very much, so they have lower kinetic energy. In liquids, they are less packed, but still restricted. And in gases, they can fly freely, so they will have much more kinetic energy than liquids or solids. This one's a yes.
- mass: No matter what form, there are still the same amount of molecules, and each molecule has the same mass as before. It won't change.
- density: Since the molecules are more spread out in gases, it will be less dense. Liquids will be more dense, and solids will have the greatest density. So, yes.
Conclusion: shape, kinetic energy, density, (and temperature if it's talking about a single type of molecule)
Hello,
I believe the answer is C. A and B say that it would help to change it but when we think about it data and opinions are not what people use to change a curriculum or program. Mainly they use surveys, which they didn't use here. Option D doesn't make any sense, data doesn't complement a program it supports some sort of theory which leads us to C. C is the only option where they use the data for effectiveness. Hope this helps!
When a beta particle<span> is emitted from the nucleus the nucleus has one more proton and one less neutron. This means the atomic mass number remains unchanged and the atomic number increases by 1.
We can also say that </span>beta decay<span> is a type of radioactive </span>decay<span> in which a proton is transformed into a neutron inside an atomic nucleus.
</span><span>a) converts a neutron into a proton</span>
Answer:
32, 30 and 41
Explanation:
The problem here is to find the number of:
Protons, neutrons and electrons in Ge²⁺
In this ion,
We must understand that for a net positive charge to remain on an atom, the number of protons must be greater than the number of electrons.
Ge is Germanium with atomic number of 32;
So the number of protons is 32
Since the atom has lost two electrons;
Number of electrons now is 32 - 2 = 30
Number of neutrons is 41 from the periodic table.
Answer:
According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of reactants will be equal to the mass of the products.
