Question

question 2: true or false: elements are fundamental units composed of a single type of atom and cannot be further broken down by chemical reactions. options: true, false. question 3: 96% of all living matters is composed of which of the following elements? (select all that apply.) options: phosphorus, hydrogen, carbon, sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen. question 4: match the subatomic particle with its charge. electron choose, proton choose, neutron choose

Explanation:

Response
Question 2
Brief Explanations

By definition, an element is a pure substance made of only one type of atom and cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions. So the statement is true.

Brief Explanations

In living organisms, about 96% of the mass is made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen (CHON). Phosphorus and sulfur are part of the remaining ~4% (along with other trace elements). So the elements that make up 96% of living matter are Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, and Nitrogen.

Brief Explanations
  • Electrons are subatomic particles with a negative charge ($-1$).
  • Protons are subatomic particles with a positive charge ($+1$).
  • Neutrons are subatomic particles with no charge (neutral, charge of $0$).

So the matches are: electron - negative, proton - positive, neutron - neutral.

Answer:

True
