Question

Q2. Define:-

a) Nucleons

b) Deposition

c) Boiling point​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Nucleons

In chemistry and physics, a nucleon is either a proton or a neutron, considered in its role as a component of an atomic nucleus. The number of nucleons in a nucleus defines an isotope's mass number. Until the 1960s, nucleons were thought to be elementary particles, not made up of smaller parts.

b) Deposition

A deposition is a statement made in court. A deposition can be made outside of court, too — after a crime, a witness might give a deposition. Then that written or recorded deposition can be used as evidence in the courtroom. ... And in the sense of depose, a deposition can refer to getting rid of a person of authority.

c) Boiling point

Boiling point, temperature at which the pressure exerted by the surroundings upon a liquid is equaled by the pressure exerted by the vapour of the liquid; under this condition, addition of heat results in the transformation of the liquid into its vapour without raising the temperature.

Answer 2

Answer:

a) Nucleons:

A proton or neutron especially in the atomic nucleus.

A proton or neutron especially in the atomic nucleus. A hypothetical single entity with one-half unit of isospin that can manifest itself as either a proton or a neutron.

B) Deposition:

Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass.

Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment.

C) Boiling point:

Boiling point, temperature at which the pressure exerted by the surroundings upon a liquid is equaled by the pressure exerted by the vapour of the liquid;

under this condition, addition of heat results in the transformation of the liquid into its vapour without raising the temperature. ...
