A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries no electric charge. This desribes which of the following?
electron |
|
atom |
|
proton |
|
neutron |
A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.
An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
solid |
|
plasma |
|
gas |
|
liquid |
The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.

atom |
|
proton |
|
electron |
|
neutron |
A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge.
Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?
stratosphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
troposphere |
|
mesosphere |
The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
The dwarf planet Pluto is located where?
in the asteroid belt |
|
in the Kuiper Belt |
|
outside the solar system |
|
between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn |
The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
