Answer:

detail is given below.

Explanation:

The charged particles of nucleus are protons while neutrons are neutral having no charge.

We know that an atom consist of electrons, protons and neutrons. Neutrons and protons are present inside the nucleus while electrons are present out side the nucleus.

Electron has a negative charge and is written as e⁻. The mass of electron is 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg . While mass of proton and neutron is 1.672623×10⁻²⁷Kg and 1.674929×10⁻²⁷ Kg respectively.

Symbol of proton= P⁺

Symbol of neutron= n⁰

The number of electron or number of protons are called atomic number while mass number of an atom is sum of protons and neutrons.

one proton contribute 1 amu to the total weight. There are 20 protons and 20 neutrons in Ca thus its atomic mass is 40 amu.

While the atomic number is 20.

notsponge [240]

Pole

Explanation:

A magnetic pole is the point on a magnet where a magnet effect is strongest. Around a magnet, there are magnetic fields.

The magnetic fields are force fields that leaves the north poles and enters through the south.
The pole is where magnetic effects are the strongest.
It is around the pole that the strongest magnetic effect on a magnet or magnetic material is felt.
The strength of magnetic fields are strongest at the poles.

padilas [110]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: C. The specific latent heat of fusion

Explanation:

A. The specific latent heat of vaporization Specific latent heat of vaporization indicates the transition from liquid to vapor, but we are not looking for this definition. This answer is wrong.

B. The specific heat indicates the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of water 1°C, so this answer is wrong.

C. The specific latent heat of fusion . This heat indicate the transition from solid ie to liquid, so this is the right answer.

D. The internal energy measures the energy of the molecules of a substance, so this answer is wrong.

Explain the difference between personal opinion/interpretation and verified observations

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Personal opinion/interpretation are usually firsthand explanation to a phenomenon or problem set. They are usually drawn from logical reasoning and deduction about some event. Most times, they are non-scientific in nature in that they are non-methodical and do not rely on the critical thinking precepts scientific studies are hinged on.

Verified observations are usually drawn from carefully planned experiments. From the results of the experiment, critical decisions can be made.
