Atoms of an element whose atoms can vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus are called which of the following?
isotopes |
|
reactants |
|
ions |
|
products |
The atomic mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table represents the average mass of a single atom of that element and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This number is an average as some elements have isotopes with atoms that vary in their number of neturons and, therefore, differ in weight.
In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?
bacteria |
|
animalia |

The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.
Which of the following is not a medium for sound waves?
liquid |
|
none of these is a medium for sound waves |
|
solid |
|
vacuum |
A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.
