Which of the following best describe an atomic number? An element identity is defined by its atomic number this means it represents the number of

An element's identity is defined by its atomic number; this means it represents the number of protons in its nucleus.

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Which of the following best describes an atomic number? An element's identity is defined by its atomic number; this means it represents the number of

A) protons plus neutrons in its nucleus.

B) electrons in the element.

C) protons in its nucleus.

D) neutrons in its nucleus.

The subatomic particles in the atom are;

Neutrons and protons are contained in the nucleus hence they are collectively called nucleons.

Electrons are found in the orbits. The number of protons must be equal to the number of electrons for the atom to be electrically neutral.

The number of protons in an atom or atomic number serve as a means of identifying an atom.

explanation:

since this is put under health, i would define "ethical (medical) behavior" the way the oath for doctors is recited.   "first do no harm."

but the term in general means when given a choice between right and wrong, we should always choose right. if we do, then we are practicing ethical behavior.

answer: option (4) is the correct answer.

explanation:

areas which are at low altitudes and near the equator tend to receive direct sunlight from the sun. hence, heat energy or radiations from the sun make these areas warmer and they have warmest water.

whereas areas which are at high altitudes and away from the equator do no receive direct sunlight. hence, no direct contact from the sun makes these regions colder and thus, they have colder water.

thus, we can conclude that the statement areas at low latitudes near the equator have the warmest water because they receive the most direct sunlight best explains the relationship between an area's geography and the temperature of its surface water.
