Once the atomic number of an atom is known, the number of electrons can be deduced depending on if the atom is an ion or a neutral one.

<h3>Atomic number</h3>

The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.

For atoms that are neutral, that is, no net charges, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons. In other words, the positive charges always balance the negative charges in neutral atoms.

Thus, if the atomic number of a neutral atom is 6, for example, the proton number will also be 6. Since the proton must balance the electron, the number of electrons will also be 6.

Why can friction make observing Newton's first law of motion difficult?
Kamila [148]
The law says things travel in a straight line at constant speed unless acted upon by a force.  But friction is a force but it can't be seen easily other than its effect, which is to bring the object to rest in seeming violation of the 1st law.

Which object has the most momentum if they were all traveling 50 mph? a) A bicycle
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Train has the most momentum if they were all traveling 50 mph

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • A train can have the most momentum even if it is moving slowly because it has a large mass if they were all traveling 50 mph.
  • In simple words, momentum can be described as the amount of motion of a moving body, estimated as a product of its mass and velocity.
  • <u>Momentum= mass x velocity</u>

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Surface area of the dog is changes from A to 3A

Explanation:

It is given that surface area of dog is increased by factor 3 in a period of 4 year

We have to find the change in dog's relative surface area in the given time period

Let initially the surface area is A

As the surface area is increased by a factor of 3

So surface area after 4 year = 3×A = 3A

So surface area of the dog is changes from A to 3A
