Ahelium nucleus contains two protons and two neutrons. the mass of the helium nucleus is greater than the combined masses of two protons and two neutrons because binding energy has been added. true false

False

Explanation:

Actually, the converse is true. The mass number would be lower than the sum of the mass of the individual nucleons combined. According to Einstein’s equation of E=MC², this will be due to a phenomenon called mass defect. This ‘anomaly’ is due to the loss of some energy (now the nuclear binding energy) when the nucleons were brought in together to form the nucleus.

c. magnitude and direction

the best answer for these questions would be:

1.            c. is smaller

2.            d) concrete operational

3.            b) interaction with the environment – the children interact with their environment can them learn more.

4.            a) parents who reason openly with children can limit a child’s cognitive ability.
