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.
Polar covalent bond- a bond where atoms are unevenly shared due to a larger difference in electronegativity of the bonded elements.
Non-polar covalent bond- These are bonds between elements with a low difference in electronegativity. Electrons are shared equally in these bonds between the elements.
Ionic bonds- have such large difference in electronegativity that they take/give electrons to the element they are bonded to. They do not share electrons at all. Bonds between a non-metal and a metal.
Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for the amount of heat absorbed by a substance is
q = mCΔT
Thus, the three factors are the
- mass
- specific heat capacity
- temperature change
The only factor that is on your list is
The shape of the substance has no effect, nor do its melting and boiling points.
Benzene is used for pesticides and detergents. It is also used for other things besides these.
Answer:
Aircraft cabins are therefore pressurized to maintained a similar pressure as that experienced at sea level to ensure normal breathing of passengers.
Explanation:
-Air becomes increasingly thinner with increasing altitudes.
-As such, oxygen becomes limited at higher altitudes and makes it difficult or almost impossible to breath a condition called hypoxia.
-Aircraft cabins are therefore pressurized to maintained a similar pressure as that experienced at sea level to ensure normal breathing of passengers.
