What was the major weakness of Wegener's theory of continental drift

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alik [6]3 years ago
6 0

Alfred Wegener proposed the continental drift theory  in four reasons. One, he hypothesized that the continents were once a giant continent. Two, he observed that there are fossils found of the same kind in the different locations. Three, he found that the edge of opposing continents somehow fits if they are combined, almost like a puzzle. And four, there are glacial scars that are left behind by a larger glacial continent. His greatest weakness of Alfred Wegeners’ continental drift theory was he could not explain what kind of force that caused this continents to move far from each other.

The formula for a compound of Li+ ions and Br- ions is written LiBr. Why can’t it be written Li2Br? Why isn’t it written BrLi?
maksim [4K]

Lithium has charge of +1 and bromide has charge of - 1. So they combine to form the compound lithium bromide which is expressed as LiBr.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Lithium is an alkali metal placed in group 1 or periodic table. It has a valency of 1 which is achieved as lithium loses an electron to achieve a charge of +1.

Bromine is a halogen which is placed in group 17 of periodic table. It has a valency of 1 which is achieved as bromine looses an election to achieve a charge of - 1.

Lithium is the cation and bromide is the anion. So lithium is written in front and bromine following the cation. And as both of their valencies are 1, so they form the compound LiBr.

What amount if force need to be applied to a 20 kg bowling ball to give it an acceleration of 5m/s
balandron [24]

Answer:

100N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the bowling ball  = 20kg

Acceleration  = 5m/s²

Unknown:

Amount of force applied  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply newton's second law of motion.

    Force  = mass x acceleration

Now insert the parameters and solve;

   Force  = 20 x 5  = 100N
