Which lunar phase will occur about four days after a waxing crescent?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer:3.5 days is awfully precise and waxing gibbous is awfully vague.Let’s just make sure we understand our terminology. Waxing means getting fatter and gibbous means fat. A waxing gibbous moon lasts for approximately 7 days from the first quarter phase right up to the full moon phase.By 3.5 days I’m assuming you mean half a week and simplifying the lunar phases to 28 days exactly.So we have:Day 0 New moon.Day 7 First quarter.Day 14 Full moon.Day 21 Third quarter.Day 28 New Moon.Between day 0 - 7 we have the waxing crescent phase.Between day 7–14 we have the waxing gibbous phase.Between day 14–21 we have the waning gibbous phase.Between day 21–28 we have the waning crescent phase.So 3.5 days from day 7 would take us to day 10.5 which would still leave us in the waxing gibbous phase. 3.5 days after day 10.5 would take us to the full moon or over into the waning gibbous phase since the full moon lasts only an instant.

Why is cyanide ion negatively charged?

Bogdan [553]

The cyanide is $CN^{-}$
A carbon atom has 4 valance electrons and nitrogen has 5. Below is a Lewis-dot-structure of cyanide.
:N≡C.
The carbon atom is still one electron short of having a full octet and so it will seize another electron from almost anything, making the cyanide ion negative and whatever it took the electron from it now positive.
