For the noble gases (the group 8a elements) 4he2, 20ne10, 40ar18, 84kr36 and 132xe54, (a) determine the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of each atom, and (b) determine the ratio of neutrons to protons in the nucleus of each atom. describe any general trend you discover in the way this ratio changes with increasing atomic number.

Name the element in group 17, period 2. (periodic table)

For a family dinner, jose’s mom baked a loaf of bread. during the meal, his grandmother commented, “this bread is so dense! ” what do you think his grandmother meant by the word dense? you have some ideas regarding density already, but this experiment will enrich your understanding of the relationship between mass, volume and the density of objects. when making measurements in this experiment we will be using si units, the international system of units. the purpose of using si units is to have the ability to communicate and compare data results with other experiments without having to make conversions. measurement symbol si unit length m meter mass kg kilogram volume l liters density kg/l kilograms per liter any calculations that are performed during this experiment will ultimately be reported in scientific notation. recall that scientific notation is extremely important when we have data that is extremely small or large. scientists rely on a standard form of communication to quickly make hypotheses and judgements based on data. what is the density of block a? a0kg/l what is the density of block b? a1kg/l what is the density of block c? a2kg/l what is the density of block d? a3kg/l what is the density of block e? a4kg/l which block is the densest? a5

The point along a planet's orbit where it is closest to the sun is called the
