How do scientists determine the number of neutrons in an isotope of an atom a. they find the number of protons b. they add the number of electrons and protons c. they divide the atomic mass by two d. they subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass

Which element in the third period would you expect to have the larger atomic radius, sodium (na) or sulfur (s)? a. sodium, because it has a higher effective nuclear charge attracting electrons in fewer energy levels. b. sodium, because it has fewer protons attracting electrons in the same energy levels. c. sulfur, because it has more protons attracting electrons in more energy levels. d. sulfur, because it has a higher effective nuclear charge attracting electrons in the same energy levels.

The boiling point of propanoic acid is higher than that of 1-butanol because: propanoic acid has a higher molecular weight than 1-butanol. propanoic acid is more soluble in water than 1-butanol. propanoic acid is a better hydrogen bond donor than 1-butanol. propanoic acid forms hydrogen bonded dimers and 1-butanol does not. 1-butanol forms hydrogen bonded dimers and propanoic acid does not.

Which question could be best answered using the process of scientific inquiry? do different plates have different rock compositions? why did it take so long to develop the theory of plate tectonics? what are different cultural myths caused by plate tectonics? do plates move intentionally to cause volcanic eruptions?
