(a)
Ranking of atoms or ions by the number of protons in the nucleus.
(a)
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is same as the atomic number of the atom. The number of electrons remains equal to the number of electrons in the atom.
The atomic number of oxygen atom is eight. So, the number of protons in the nucleus of oxygen atom is also eight.
The atomic number of fluorine atom is nine. So, the number of protons in the nucleus of the fluorine atom is also nine.
The atomic number of sulphur atom is sixteen. So, the number of protons in the nucleus of sulphur atom is also sixteen.
The atomic number of sodium atom is eleven. So, the number of protons in the nucleus of the oxygen atom is also eleven.
Conclusion:
Thus, the ranking of atoms by the number of protons in the nucleus of atom in decreasing order is C, D, B, A.
(b)
Ranking of atoms or ions by the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
(b)
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The sum of the number of protons and number of neutrons is called mass number. The higher is the mass number more is number of neutrons in the nucleus of atom.
The mass number of the oxygen atom is sixteen, so number of neutrons in the nucleus of the oxygen atom is eight.
The mass number of fluorine atom is nineteen. So, the number of protons in the nucleus of fluorine atom is ten.
The mass number of sulphur atom is thirty two. So, the number of protons in the nucleus of sulphur atom is sixteen.
The mass number of sodium atom is twenty three. So, the number of protons in the nucleus of oxygen atom is also twelve.
Conclusion:
Thus, the ranking of atoms by the number of neutrons in the nucleus of atom in decreasing order is C, D, B, A.
(c)
Ranking of atoms or ions by the number of electrons in the nucleus.
(c)
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The number of electrons in a normal atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. The positive charge on the atom is due to loss of one electrons from the number of electrons in the normal atom. The negative charge on the atom due to gain of one electron in the number of electrons in normal atom.
The number of protons in oxygen atom is eight. So, the number of electrons in nucleus of oxygen atom is also eight.
The number of electrons in fluorine atom is nine. So, the number of electrons in the negative fluorine atom becomes ten.
The number of protons in sulphur atom is sixteen. So, the number of electrons in sulphur atom is also sixteen.
The number of electrons in sodium atom is eleven. So, the number of electrons in the positive sodium atom becomes ten.
Conclusion:
Thus, the ranking of atoms by the number of electrons in the atom in decreasing order is C, D = B, A.

One end is attached to a post that is free to rotate in the center of a smooth. table, as shown in the top view in the figure below. The other end is attached to a 1kg disc moving in uniform circular motion on the table, which stretches the spring by 0.03 m. Friction is negligible. What is the centripetal force on the disc? Top View (a) 0.3 N (b) 3.0 N (c) 10 N (d) 300 N (e) 1000 Narrow_forward4. A child has a ball on the end of a cord, and whirls the ball in a vertical circle. Assuming the speed of the ball is constant (an approximation), when would the tension in the cord be greatest? (a) At the top of the circle. (b) At the bottom of the circle. (c) A little after the bottom of the circle when the ball is climbing. (d) A little before the bottom of the circle when the ball is descending quickly. (e) Nowhere; the cord is pulled the same amount at all points.arrow_forward

A roller coaster rounds the bottom of a circular loop at a nearly constant speed. At this point the net force on the coaster cart is (a) zero. (b) directed upward. (c) directed downward. (d) Cannot tell without knowing the exact speed.arrow_forward5. While driving fast around a sharp right turn, you find yourself pressing against the left car door. What is happening? (a) Centrifugal force is pushing you into the door. (b) The door is exerting a rightward force on you. (c) Both of the above. (d) Neither of the above.arrow_forward

(c) the car exerts an outward force on you. (d) of gravity.arrow_forward1. A 50-N crate sits on a horizontal floor where the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.50. A 20-N force is applied to the crate acting to the right. What is the resulting static friction force acting on the crate? (a) 20 N to the right. (b) 20 N to the left. (c) 25 N to the right. (d) 25 N to the left. (e) None of the above; the crate starts to move.arrow_forward3. The problem that shall not be named. m A (a) A block of mass m = 1 kg, sits on an incline that has an angle 0. Find the coefficient of static friction by analyzing the system at imminent motion. (hint: static friction will equal the maximum value) (b) A block of mass m = 1kg made of a different material, slides down an incline that has an angle 0 = 45 degrees.
