The mass number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. Since there are 16 neutrons, there are 14 protons. This also corresponds to the atomic number, so this atom's atomic number is 14 which is also Silicon
Answer:
The attractive force between them decreases
Explanation:
This is because they become localised.
Answer:
In a chemical reaction, there is a change in the composition of the substances; in a physical change there is a difference in the appearance, smell, or simple display of a sample of matter without a change in composition.
Explanation:
The number of electrons that can occupy the sub levels being filled by that period
Adhesion is responsible for a meniscus and this has to do in part with water's fairly high surface tension. Water molecules are attracted to the molecules in the wall of the glass beaker. And since water molecules like to stick together, when the molecules touching the glass cling to it, other water molecules cling to the molecules touching the glass, forming the meniscus. They'll travel up the glass as far as water's cohesive forces will allow them, until gravity prevents them from going further. Cohesion is an intermolecular attraction between like molecules (other water molecules in this case).
