An atom of Oxygen. Contains:
Protons = 8
Electrons = 8
Neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 18 - 8 = 10
Neutrons = 10.
D. To answer this question refer to the periodic table and think logically about it. Adding one proton increases the atomic number so you go along the row to Nitrogen. If you lose one neutron then the atomic mass decreases by 1 so 14-1 is 13.
Explanation:
Charges on both magnesium and oxygen is 2. Though opposite in sign, they have equal charges so, both of them will be cancelled by each other.
As a result, formula of magnesium oxide is MgO and not 
.
The student write the equation as 
, it is not correct.
Therefore, given equation will be balanced as follows.
Since, number of atoms on both reactant and product side are equal. Hence, this equation is completely balanced.
I think it’s to long to fit in a period??
Answer:
Which sequence of events is required to form a limestone cave where you can walk around and observe cave formations, such as stalactites? (Note: stalactites hang from the ceiling - they have to hold on tight to the roof.)
A geological sequence of events as involving the lowering of the water table to expose cave structures where stalactites and stalagmites form which is described as follows,
Explanation:
1. Acidic percolated water formed cavities of solution beneath the natural water table known as phreatic zone
2. After the passage of time there is a drop in the water table dropped forming caves from cavities
3. These caves, which are air filled voids that contains adequate environment for forming stalactites and stalagmites and where they are found
