Electromagnetic waves heat earths surface through convection?

1 answer:

4 0

Heat moves in three ways:Radiation, conduction, and convection. Radiation happens when heat moves as energy waves, call infrared waves,directly from its source to something else.This is how the heat from the Sun gets to Earth.In fact,all hot things radiate heat to cooler things:).hope this helps

<h3>What is gamma radiation?</h3>

Gamma radiation (gamma rays) refers to the part of the electromagnetic spectrum with the most energy and shortest wavelength. Astrophysicists define gamma radiation as any radiation with an energy above 100 keV. Physicists define gamma radiation as high-energy photons released by nuclear decay.

Using the broader definition of gamma radiation, gamma rays are released by sources including gamma decay, lightning, solar flares, matter-antimatter annihilation, the interaction between cosmic rays and matter, and many astronomical sources. Gamma radiation was discovered by Paul Villard in 1900.

Gamma radiation is used to study the universe, treat gemstones, scan containers, sterilize foods and equipment, diagnose medical conditions, and treat some forms of cancer.

Why does group 18 in the periodic table not form ions?

alukav5142 [94]

Lets take a moment to list all the characteristics of the group 18 (also known as noble gases and/or group 8) elements:
- They have 8 valence electrons.
- Don't need ANY more electrons because their octet is full (stable).
- Are stable
- Not reactive
- Known as the noble gases

Now.. lets take some time to think about why elements want to form ions:

Elements form ions to either gain or lose valence electrons to the element they bond with. This helps them GAIN a full octet. What is a full octet, you may ask? An octet is when an element has all 8 valence electrons and is stable, making it nonreactive.

Why would an element with a full octet want to bond? It already has a full octet, it does not need to bond.

That, my fellow Brainly user, is why the noble gases do not need to bond.

I really do hope this helps! Enjoy, and good luck on the studies.

What would most likely happen when a metal is heated?

DENIUS [597]

It will melt

This is because the molecules in the metal begin to move faster and faster turning from solid to liquid
