The band of stability curves upward at high atomic numbers due to the fact that excess of neutrons are required due to the repulsion between protons.
Atomic number is the number of protons. As the number of protons (atomic number) increase, the electrical repulsion force, due to the same sign of the protons inside the nucleus, becomes more dominant compared to the nuclear force attractions, then the nucleus needs more neutrons to gain stability.The presence of more neutrons decrease the density of protons which decreases the repulsion among them.
It is true that only half of the moon is always illuminated
by the sun. The reason why the moon
changes it phases is because Moon orbits around the Earth, and due to this some
areas of the half of the moon will not be lit by the sun.

im in hardvard dont cheat get amzing grades if you want to go here
Explanation:
D. The atomic mass in amu is basically the number or nuclei since the mass of the electrons is negligible. For a given atom (element) the number of protons is fixed. Say the element has 10 protons. If the atomic weight is 14 atomic mass units (amu), you know that there are 4 neutrons, since both neutrons and protons are 1 amu each and there are 10 protons
