D) With an increase in altitude, atmospheric pressure increases as well.

Explanation:

Generally when altitude increases, the value of pressure decreases. This shows that pressure is inversely proportional to altitude. For example, the higher the altitude, the lower the pressure and vice versa. At very high altitude, the number of molecules of air are smaller than the number of moles of air at very low altitude. Thus, the higher the altitude, the lower the atmospheric pressure and the lower the altitude, the higher the atmospheric pressure. Therefore, option (D) is false.

Answer from: growingideas

The false statement is "With an increase in altitude, atmospheric pressure increases as well" because "With an increase in altitude, atmospheric pressure decreases."

Explanation:

Altitude is the vertical distance that exists between any given point on Earth and sea level.

The weight of the air that makes up our atmosphere puts pressure on the earth's surface. This pressure is known as atmospheric pressure. Generally, the more air there is over an area, the higher the atmospheric pressure. This means that atmospheric pressure changes with altitude: the higher the height of the Earth's surface with respect to sea level (altitude), the lower the air pressure.

So, the false statement is "With an increase in altitude, atmospheric pressure increases as well" because "With an increase in altitude, atmospheric pressure decreases."

Answer from: Quest

explanation:

let the different atoms be x and y. each with four protons and same mass will be represented as follows.

mass number is number of protons + number of neutrons.

$^{m}_{4}x$ and $^{m}_4y$

since, it is given that one has a negative charge while the other is neutral. therefore, there will be increase in number of protons and the atom will be represented as follows.

$^{m}_{5}x^{-}$

according to periodic table, mass number of beryllium is 9 and it has atomic number 4 so, the atoms will be $^{9}_{5}be^{-}$ and $^{9}_{4}be$ .

the protons and neutrons will be located inside the nucleus whereas the electrons will be revolving around the nucleus.

I'm learning about the periodic tables and what each subject's configuration is. for example, hydrogen is 1s^1, but i don't understand how you get that. can someone me understand how to figure out how to figure this out? sorry if the question makes no sense, but it would really a lot if you could me understand! you so much if you can!
