The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons within an atom and since we know that the unknown element has 6 neutrons, we can simply subtract the number of neutrons from the mass number to get the number of protons.
17 - 6 = 11
There are 11 protons in this unknown element.
Extra:
The number of protons (+) and electrons (-) are equal in a neutral atom so since you know that there are 11 protons you also know that there are 11 electrons. On the periodic table, the element with 11 electrons is Na or Sodium.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for kinetic energy is:
We can plug in the given values into the equation:
3. Millions of years ago, the Earth was not divided into 7 continents. It was only a very large land mass, the scientists named that one land mass “Pangaea”
4. If the tectonic plates are disturbed, they can cause mass earthquakes and tsunamis.
5. The ring of fire is a massive collection of volcanoes under the pacific ocean. They all form the shape of a ring, hence the name.
SORRY, I COULDNT ANSWER THE FIRST TWO QUESTIONS.
Answer:
Potential energy
Explanation:
Before release, the catapult has potential energy stored in a tension of torsion device in it. Normally a flexible bow like object that could be made of wood or of metal.
