Introduction:
Atoms are the smallest particles that exhibit some chemical properties and consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons are present in the nucleus and electrons keep revolving around the nucleus in an orbit.
Answer to Problem 1DYKB
Correct answer:
The isotopes have a different number of neutrons. Therefore, option c. is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
Option c. is given as “isotopes”. The isotopes are the different atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons and electrons but differ in the number of neutrons and atomic masses.
Hence, option c. is correct.
Reasons for incorrect statements:
Option a. is given as “isomers”. The isomers have same atomic masses and it is a molecule that has a same molecular formula but differs in the arrangement of atoms. Hence, option a. is incorrect.
Option b. is given as “ions”. Ions are charged atom and do not have an equal number of electrons and protons. Hence, option b. is incorrect.
Option d. is given as “organic atoms”. These are the atoms like carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and phosphorus. These atoms form organic molecules. The protons, neutrons, and electrons are the same as an ordinary atom. Hence, option d. is incorrect.
Hence, options a., b., and d. are incorrect.
The isotopes are the atoms that have different atomic masses due to the difference in neutrons and have similar electrons and protons.

- PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen. How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?

Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.arrow_forwardOther than oil and alcohol, are there other liquids you could compare to water (that are liquid at room temperature)?

You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different. (Editor’s note: Providing this information in your discussion will help readers to consider the significance of the research).arrow_forward
