In the Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?
number of neutrons in the nucleus |
|
number of protons in the nucleus |
|
number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus |
|
number of electrons orbiting the nucleus |
The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.
Absolute zero is which of the following?
0°C |
|
the freezing point of hydrogen |
|
the freezing point of oxygen |
|
the coldest temperature possible in the universe |
In contrast to the Celsius scale (measured in degrees centigrade) that fixes 0° at the freezing point of water and the Fahrenheit scale that uses 32°, the Kelvin scale fixes 0 at absolute zero (-273°C) which is the lowest temperature possible in the universe.
The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas is called:
conduction |
|
diffusion |
|
radiation |
|
convection |
Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee.
