Determine whether the stopcock should be completely open, partially open, or completely closed for each activity involved with titration. Close to the calculated endpoint of a titration
At the beginning of a titration
Filling the buret with titrant
Conditioning the buret with titrant

Close to the calculated endpoint of a titration - Partially open

At the beginning of a titration - Completely open

Filling the buret with titrant - Completely closed

Conditioning the buret with the titrant - Completely closed

Explanation:

'Titration' is depicted as the process under which the concentration of some substances in a solution is determined by adding measured amounts of some other substance until a rection is displayed to be complete.

As per the question, the stopcock would remain completely open when the process of titration starts. After the buret is successfully placed, the titrant is carefully put through the buret in the stopcock which is entirely closed. Thereafter, when the titrant and the buret are conditioned, the stopcock must remain closed for correct results. Then, when the process is near the estimated end-point and the solution begins to turn its color, the stopcock would be slightly open before the reading of the endpoint for adding the drops of titrant for final observation.

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.

            and  

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.

according to periodic table, mass number of beryllium is 9 and it has atomic number 4 so, the atoms will be and .  

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