Answer:

the reason why Mars is red is because of its regolith, or surface material, contains lots of iron oxide — the same compound that gives blood and rust their hue

One question I still have is regarding the metric system. I don't have a clear understanding of what valence electrons are. Do v
Allushta [10]
Valence electrons is an outer shell electron that is associated with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed. In a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.

The presence of valence electrons can determine the elements chemical properties, such as its valence—whether it may bond with other elements and, if so, how readily and with how many. In this way, a given element's reactivity is highly dependent upon its electronic configuration. For a main group element, a valence electron can exist only in the outermost electron shell; in a transition metal, a valence electron can also be in an inner shell.
An atom with a closed shell of valence electrons (corresponding to an electron configuration s2p6 for main group elements) tends to be chemically inert. Atoms with one or two valence electrons more than a closed shell are highly reactive due to the relatively low energy to remove the extra valence electrons to form a positive ion. An atom with one or two electrons less than a closed shell is reactive due to its tendency either to gain the missing valence electrons and form a negative ion, or else to share valence electrons and form a covalent bond.

Similar to a core electron, a valence electron has the ability to absorb or release energy in the form of a photon. An energy gain can trigger the electron to move (jump) to an outer shell; this is known as atomic excitation. Or the electron can even break free from its associated atom's shell; this is ionization to form a positive ion. When an electron loses energy (thereby causing a photon to be emitted), then it can move to an inner shell which is not fully occupied.

When forming ions, elements typically gain or lose the minimum number of electrons necessary to achieve a full octet. For example, fluorine has seven valence electrons, so it is most likely to gain one electron to form an ion with a 1- charge.

Which composer made it a goal to create compositions that sounded truly american?.
MAVERICK [17]

Given what we know, we can confirm that the composer who made it a goal to create compositions that sounded truly American was Aaron Copland.

<h3>Who was Aaron Copland?</h3>

Aaron Copland was an American composer, among his other disciplines, best known for his jazz-styled music. He went on to win an Oscar award for film composing for the movie The Heiress (1949).

Therefore, we can confirm that the composer who made it a goal to create compositions that sounded truly American was Aaron Copland.

What is the element that lies in group no 29?​
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Ahh there isn’t a group 29 on the periodic table, but do you mean which element had the atomic number 29 because that would be Copper (Cu).

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

I believe

Explanation:

I believe that the answer is B, but I could be wrong. I think it's How much work can be done in a given time, because, In physics, power is the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time.
