In a way, all of the answers could be argued for (for example: in the first option: if the scientists' opinions are understood to be "informed understanding of the causes of events"), but one of the options is the best:
Scientific laws describe specific relationships in nature without offering
an explanation.
The reason why I think this is true is that many laws are phased too short and too concise to provide comprehensive explanations, instead they describe the relationships that must hold.
One of the options is pplain false:
Scientific laws explain why natural events occur. -"Scientific laws were theories that have been tested, proven, and adopted as laws." - since they are not adopted as laws.
Answer:
Protons and neutrons
Explanation:
The particles to forms the nucleus of an atom are the protons and neutrons of the atoms.
These materials are located in the tiny nucleus and contributes the most mass of the atom.
- Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom
- Neutrons do not carry any charges.
- Sum of the protons and neutrons gives the mass number of the atom.
