Before we describe the phases of the Moon, let's describe what they're not. Some people mistakenly believe the phases come from Earth's shadow cast on the Moon. Others think that the Moon changes shape due to clouds. These are common misconceptions, but they're not true. Instead, the Moon's phase depends only on its position relative to Earth and the Sun.
The Moon doesn't make its own light, it just reflects the Sun's light as all the planets do. The Sun always illuminates one half of the Moon. Since the Moon is tidally locked, we always see the same side from Earth, but there's no permanent "dark side of the Moon." The Sun lights up different sides of the Moon as it orbits around Earth – it's the fraction of the Moon from which we see reflected sunlight that determines the lunar phase.
Answer:
group 16 period 2 of the periodic table
note: that is not the electronic configuration, that is the Bohr model.
Order, sensitivity or response to the environment, reproduction, growth and development, regulation, homeostasis, and energy processing.
Answer: Volume iron = 2 x 3 x 2 => 12 cm³
Mass = 94 g
D = m / V
D = 94 / 12
D = 7.833 g/cm³

Explanation:
Sodium is alkali metal and present in group one. It has one valence electron. All alkali metal form salt when react with halogens.
Sodium loses its one electron to get stable. While all halogens have seven valence electrons they need only one electron to get stable electronic configuration.
When alkali metals such as sodium react with halogen fluorine it loses its one valence electron which is accepted by fluorine and ionic bond is formed. The compound formed is called sodium fluoride.
Na + F → NaF
In cross and dot diagram electrons of one atom are shown as dots while other atom shown as cross to distinguish.
