If a main sequence star is cooling and expanding, it is entering the red giant stage. This means that the star has burned up all of it's hydrogen and is now starting to burn its helium making it cooler.
The isotopes contribute to the average atomic mass based on their abundance. The result is that the "average" mass for the atoms of an element is dictated by the most abundant or common isotope. The average atomic mass for carbon is 12.0107 amu.
The atomic mass as displayed on the periodic table is a weighted average relative atomic mass of the naturally occuring isotopes of that element.
An isotope is an element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
For example - Carbon naturally occurs in isotopes C12, C13 and C14 with abundances of 98.9% 1.1% and 'trace' respectively.
the average mass is then calculated by 12*98.9%+13*1.1% = 12.01g/mol
Answer:
Explained
Explanation:
Lunar mountains are smoothly rounded rather than having sharp, pointed peaks because the lunar moons are formed because of the impact of asteroids and comets on its surface whereas the Earth mountains are formed because of the surface activity of volcanos, collision of land masses and activity of plate tectonics that is why they have sharp and pointed tops.
Larger index of refraction means slower light-speed in that material.
According to this chart, it's fastest in air and slowest in <em>diamond</em>.
