It is asking how floating ice would affect you in the world you live on (obviously) but in the sense that you don’t live near an ocean the biggest impact of floating ice is the ice in your water. If you were to be on a ship or near a colder ocean, then icebergs would affect you in that way.

Water is one of the few substances which expand in volume when frozen, compared to liquid. Usually substances condense when cooled, but at the point of freezing, when liquid water becomes solid ice, the molecules lock into a matrix in which there is more space between molecules - ice expands! This is why ice floats on liquid water.

It is this miracle which has shaped the planet and allowed life to thrive. Expansion of ice is responsible for much land-shaping erosion on land, the heaving off of boulders from mountain tops. And the floating of ice on lakes, rivers and oceans - if the frozen water was indeed more dense than liquid water, it would sink and pile up in the cold depths. There would be no life thriving under the ice, overwintering. It would all eventually freeze solid, and all the life forms with it.

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Boron

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

For example

In given atomic model we can see that there are five electrons out side the nucleus it means this atomic model is of that element which have atomic number 5 and it is boron.

It has 5 electron 5 proton and 6 neutrons.

It means its atomic number is five and mass number is 5+6 = 11

What is the most appropriate unit of astronomical distance to represent the distance between an earth an orbiting space station
Reil [10]
Astronauts use "Astronomical Unit" to measure the distance between planets in our solar system "only". To measure long distances like between 2 galaxies, they use "light years". One Astronomical Unit = Average distance between sun and earth which is equal to 149.6 million kilometers. Ping me if you have any doubt.

If one atom of potassium and one atom of chlorine form an ionic bond, what are the charges of the two ions?
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The answer is the letter A.

Explanation:

It is letter A because of Chlorine needs an electron to have a full shell. So, it will receive a negative one because it is gaining an electron. Potassium lost an electron because the element has to share the electron with Chlorine to balance its properties.
