A cloud that forms on the ground is called fog. Some clouds you see in the sky might be from airplanes. These are called contrails. High level cirrus clouds may travel at speeds up to 100 mph.
Answer:
Their average kinetic energy increases
Explanation:
The average kinetic energy of the rice molecules increases as the pot is left on the cooking stove.
Heat is transferred to the pot by conduction from the heat source. The heat is then transferred to the rice in the cooking pot by convection.
- As the water in the pot heats up.
- The rice gains thermal energy.
- This causes the molecules of the rice particles to start vibrating.
- As the molecules vibrate about their fixed position, their thermal energy continues to increase.
- Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed by the rice increases with time and this actually cooks the food.
It can be separated by physical means and is not uniform in composition.
Answer:
They all have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
Explanation:
These are called isotopes. Isotopy is the existence of two or more atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to the differences in the number of neutrons in their various nuclei.
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. For a neutral atom, it is the same as the number of electrons.
The mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
silicon-28 (28Si)
silicon-29 (29Si)
silicon-30 (30Si)
All of these isotopes have an atomic number of 16
Now let us chech for the neutrons:
Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number:
for silicon-28 (28Si) : 28-16 = 12 neutrons
silicon-29 (29Si)
: 29-16 = 13 neutrons
silicon-30 (30Si): 20-16 = 14 neutrons.
