Lithium has 3 protons. how many neutrons are in the isotope lithium -8

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

5 neutrons

Explanation:

Both protons and neutrons have a mass of about 1 atomic mass unit (amu). The number in the notation for an isotope is its mass in amu. That means the number is essentially the sum of protons and neutrons in the isotope (electrons don't contribute significantly to the mass).

If lithium has 3 protons, lithium-8 has 8 - 3 = 5 neutrons.

Answer 2
Answer:

It should be 5 neutrons

TM = 10X x 25X

TM = 250X

A freely suspended bar magnet always shows north and south direction why​

Answers

Answer:

The earth behaves as a magnetic dipole. Therefore a freely suspended magnet always points towards in the north-south direction because the north pole of the suspended magnet attracts the south pole of the earth's magnet which is the geographical north pole of the earth.

hopethishelp!

Answer:

Because the north pole of a compass needle points towards geographical N and S poles and the compass needle points towards georaphical south.

Explanation:

Earth is a huge magnet.

Barycenter can be described as?? A) the center of a celestial object
B) the point between 2 objects that is in the exact center
3) the point between 2 objects where they balance each other

Answers

Answer: 3) the point between 2 objects where they balance each other

Explanation:

The center of mass of two bodies about which the bodies orbit and balance each other is known as Barycenter. It is the point of balance of two or more celestial bodies. The Barycenter determines the orbit of the celestial bodies.

For example: the binary stars orbit a common center of mass. Pluto and its moon Charon revolve about their Barycenter.

Hence, the correct option is 3.

The energy derived from the digestion of food is __________.a. kinetic energy
b. inertia
c. momentum
d. chemical energy

Answers

By definition, we have to:

Digestion is the transformation of foods that are ingested into simpler substances to be absorbed.

Digestion has different processes:

1) Mechanical processes to reduce the size of food.

2) Chemical processes to reduce the size of the particles and prepare them for absorption.

Therefore, the energy derived from the digestion process is the chemical energy.

Answer:

The energy derived from the digestion of food is chemical energy.

Answer: Chemical energy

Explanation:  

Digestion is a chemical process where glucose burns in presence of oxygen producing energy which helps us to perform work and liberating carbon-dioxide and water. The carbon-dioxide is exhaled out.  

C₆H₁₂O₆ (Food) + O₂ →  CO₂ +H₂O+ Energy

Thus, through digestion chemical energy is obtained as old bonds are broken to form new bonds through a chemical process.
