Question

if two materials are made from different kinds of atoms, what else should you expect to be different? a. the kinds of neutrons they have b. the properties they have c. the mass of their electrons d. the charge of their protons

Answer 1

We expect the: b. the properties they have to be different.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

An element is a substance that consists of same type of atoms.

For example, in a sodium atom there will be only atoms of sodium. Each atom of an element will show same properties as they all are same in nature.

So, when two materials that are made from different kinds of atoms will combine together then due to the presence of different atoms they will have different properties.

For example, when sodium combines with chlorine then it forms NaCl which has different properties as compared to sodium and chlorine.

Thus, we can conclude that if two materials are made from different kinds of atoms, then we expect that the properties they have should be be different.
