Which of the following best describes why heat causes a solid to transition into a liquid?

<p>Heat increases the vibrational energy of particles, causing them to overcome the forces of attraction between particles, leading to more movement. (C)</p> Signup and view all the answers

Which of the following statements accurately describes the relationship between the movement of particles and the state of matter?

<p>Particles in solids are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions, with very little movement. Liquids have greater freedom of movement, sliding past each other, while gases exhibit the most freedom of movement due to their random motion and wide separation.

Proton Charge

A proton has a positive charge of +1.

Isotopes

Atoms with the same protons but different neutrons.

Finding Neutrons

Neutrons = Mass number - Protons.

Study Notes

Atomic Structure

  • Proton charge = +1
  • Neutron charge = 0
  • Electron charge = -1
  • Proton mass = 1
  • Neutron mass = 1
  • Electron mass = 1/1840

Isotopes

  • Isotopes are particles with the same amount of proton but different number of neutrons

Calculating Neutrons

  • To find neutron number, subtract the mass number from the mass number.

Electron Configuration

  • The formula for the number of electrons in each shell is 2(n2)
    • where n is the number of the shell
  • The period is the number of valence electron shell while the group is the number of electron left in the last shell.
