Pure Gold, Pure Silver, and pure Oxygen are all elements. Elements are substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. They are made up of atoms of the same type. In this case, pure Gold, pure Silver, and pure Oxygen are all composed of only one type of atom, making them elements.

Submit
44. Electrons...

Explanation

Electrons orbit the nucleus and are negatively charged. This is a fundamental concept in atomic structure. Electrons are subatomic particles that revolve around the nucleus in specific energy levels or orbitals. They carry a negative charge, which is equal in magnitude to the positive charge of the protons in the nucleus. The arrangement of electrons in these orbitals determines the chemical properties and reactivity of an atom.

Submit
45. An atom is the smallest particle you can get. There is nothing smaller than an atom.

Explanation

The statement is true because an atom is indeed the smallest particle that exists. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and they cannot be divided further without losing their chemical properties. Subatomic particles such as quarks and leptons exist within atoms, but they are not considered as separate particles on their own. Therefore, an atom is the fundamental building block of matter and cannot be broken down into anything smaller.

Submit
46. A horizontal row of the periodic table is called a 

Explanation

A horizontal row of the periodic table is called a period. Periods represent the energy levels or shells in which the electrons of an atom are arranged. Each period corresponds to a specific number of electron shells that an atom can have. The number of the period indicates the highest energy level occupied by electrons in that row.

48. If lithium has an atomic number of 3 and a mass number of 7, the correct number of protons, neutrons, and electrons, respectively, is:

Explanation

Lithium has an atomic number of 3, which indicates that it has 3 protons. The mass number of 7 suggests that it has a total of 7 nucleons, which includes both protons and neutrons. Since we know that lithium has 3 protons, subtracting this from the mass number gives us the number of neutrons. Therefore, the correct number of protons, neutrons, and electrons for lithium is 3, 4, and 3 respectively.

Submit
49. How many protons, neutrons and electrons are in the following atom Fluorine-19

Explanation

The correct answer is P=9, E=9, N=10. Fluorine-19 has an atomic number of 9, which means it has 9 protons and 9 electrons. The atomic mass of Fluorine-19 is 19, so the number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass, giving us 10 neutrons.

Submit
50. How many neutrons does Chlorine have?

Explanation

Chlorine has an atomic number of 17, which represents the number of protons in its nucleus. The atomic mass of chlorine is 35.5, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Therefore, the number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass. In this case, 35.5 - 17 = 18 neutrons.
