Suppose that the same amount of heat is added to two 10.0-g blocks of metal, both initially at the same temperature. one block is gold metal, and one is iron metal. which block will have the greater rise in temperature after the addition of the heat?

How much a  substance increase its temperature due to heat transfer depends on its specific heat.

The specific heat is the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of one mass of substance in 1 °Celsius.

The lower the specific heat the more the substance change its temperature with a given amount of heat, the greater the specific heat of the substance the lesser the change of temperature with the same amount of heat.

Then, to predict which of the two blocks will have the greater rise you need to compare  the specific heats of the metals.

From tables, the specific heat of gold is 0.129 J/g°C and specific heat of iron is 0.450J/g*°C.

Then, gold will raise more its temperature than iron, after the addition of the same amount of heat.

 

An  atom  (ours, not carroll's) consists of a positively charged  nucleus, surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called  electrons. the positive charges equal the negative charges, so the atom has no overall charge; it is electrically neutral. most of an atom's mass is in its nucleus; the mass of an electron is only 1/1836 the mass of the lightest nucleus, that of hydrogen. although the nucleus is heavy, it is quite small compared with the overall size of an atom. the radius of a typical atom is around 0.1 to 0.25 nanometres (nm), whereas the radius of a nucleus is about 10-6  nm.  *  if an atom were enlarged to the size of the earth, its nucleus would be only 200 feet in diameter and could easily rest inside a small football stadium.read more on -
