Atoms of an element whose atoms can vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus are called which of the following?
ions |
|
products |
|
reactants |
|
isotopes |
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.
Large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top describe which of the following?
stratus clouds |
|
cumulus clouds |
|
fog |
|
cirrus clouds |
Cumulus clouds are large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top. These clouds grow upward and can develop into a cumulonimbus or thunderstorm cloud.
Which of the following states of matter exists at the highest temperature?
none of these |
|

A human heart consists of how many chambers?

1 |
|
2 |
|
8 |
The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
Vector quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude only |
|
a direction only |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a direction and a polarity |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
