Why is global warming called the greenhouse effect?

Chemistry

nika2105 [10]3 years ago
3 0
Since greenhouses are designed to trap in heat, we call global warming the “greenhouse effect” because it essentially does the same thing. “Greenhouse” gases (gases that easily trap heat) clog up the outer layers of the atmosphere and prevents heat from leaving the planet. The gases trap heat, just like greenhouses.

A. how do you determine the charge of an element?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

A. The charge on an element is determined by the differences between the number of protons and electrons in an atom.

An atom will have no charges if the number of protons and electrons are the same.

  • When an atom loses or gains electrons, the number of electrons will either decrease or increase
  • if the number of electrons is more than the number of protons, the excess electrons is the charge on the atom. And this makes the atom become a negatively charged ion.
  • if the number of electrons is lesser than the number of protons, the deficient electrons makes the atom a positively charged ion. The number of electrons by which the atom is deficient makes the atom a positively charged ion.

Charge  = number of protons  - number of electrons

B. Electrons form the charges they do because with the charge, they become stable like the noble gases.

The desire of every atom is  to have stable electronic configuration like those of the noble gases.

A potassium atom with a configuration 2 8 8 1 will prefer to lose an electron to become an Argon atom making the ion stable.

46. True or false. Chemical reactions do not involve changes in the chemical bonds that join
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Chemical reactions do not involve changes in the chemical bonds that join

atoms in compounds :

<u>False</u>

Explanation:

Chemical reaction are the reaction in which old bonds break and new  bonds are formed . The formation of new bond result in formation of new compounds . This happen because new bond are result of linking different atoms by the bond.

For example : Water formation from Oxygen and Hydrogen is a chemical process :

2H_{2}+O_{2}\rightarrow 2H_{2}O

Original(old) bonds are :

H-H bond in H2 and O-O bonds in O2

In H2 = Hydrogen is joined to Hydrogen

IN O2 = Oxygen is joined to oxygen

New Bonds =

O-H bonds in water (H2O)

Oxygen is joined to hydrogen = New Bond formation

Hence,

<u>Chemical reactions do involve changes in the chemical bonds that join </u>

<u>atoms in compounds</u>

Which statement best describes the behavior of most soilds?
lidiya [134]
B is correct. Molecules move faster when they are hotter because they have more energy. You can notice this change with your naked eye. Molecules in solids don't move. They have barely any energy. Hope this helps! ;)
