Why is there a delay for the tides to react to the Moon's and Sun's gravitational effect?

There is no delay because the effects of gravity are constantly acting on bodies of water. Hence, option D is correct.

<h3>What is the gravitational effect?</h3>

Gravitation or just gravity is the force of attraction between any two bodies.

The Moon exerts over twice the gravitational pull of the Sun on Earth's tides because of its proximity to Earth. -The lunar tidal bulges are about twice the size of the solar tidal bulges. -The Sun's contribution to the tides is less than that of the Moon.

When the sun and moon are perfectly unaligned (they form a 90-degree angle relative to the earth), there are still tides because the moon's gravitational gradient is stronger than the sun's. The sun's gravitational gradient never completely cancels out the moon's.

Hence, option D is correct.

At constant pressure, which of these systems do work on the surroundings? Check all that apply.
lana66690 [7]
I believe the correct answers from the choices listed above are the second and the last option. At constant pressure, the systems 2A(g) + B(g) ---> 4C(g)  and 2C(g) A(s) + B(s) ---> C(g) produces work to the surroundings. <span>When a gas is evolved during a chemical reaction, the gas can be imagined as displacing the atmosphere - pushing it back against the atmospheric pressure. The work done is therefore V*P where V is the volume of gas evolved, and P is the atmospheric pressure. </span>

Answer:

See detailed answer with explanation below.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are electrons found on the outermost shell of an atom. They are the electrons in an atom that participate in chemical combination. Recall that the outermost shell of an atom is also referred to as its valence shell. Let us consider an example; if we look at the atom, sodium-11, its electronic configuration is 2,8,1. The last one electron is the valence electron of sodium which is found in its outermost or valence shell.

Positive ions are formed when electrons are lost from the valence shell of an atom. For instance, if the outermost electron in sodium is lost, we now form the sodium ion Na^+ which is a positive ion. Positive ions possess less number of electrons compared to their corresponding atoms.

Negative ions are formed when one or more electrons is added to the valence shell of an atom. A negative ion possesses more electrons than its corresponding atom. For example, chlorine(Cl) contains 17 electrons but the chloride ion (Cl^-) contains 18 electrons.

In molecular compounds, a bond is formed when two electrons are shared between the bonding atoms. Each bonding atom may contribute one of the shared electrons (ordinary covalent bond) or one of the bonding atoms may provide the both shared electrons (coordinate covalent bond). The shared pair may be located at an equidistant position to the nucleus of both atoms. Similarly, the electron may be drawn closer to the nucleus of one atom than the other (polar covalent bond) depending on the electro negativity of the two bonding atoms.

The electrons are shared in order to complete the octet of each atom by so doing, the both bonding atoms now obey the octet rule. For example, two chlorine atoms may come together to form a covalent bond in which each chlorine atom has an octet of electrons on its outermost shell.
