True or False When the attraction between the particles overcomes their motion the particles clump together to boil. ​
bixtya [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is wrong to claim that when the attraction between particles overcomes their motion, the particles will clump together to boil.

During boiling particles do no clump together, they tend to move apart more rapidly.

  • Boiling occurs when the vapor pressure overcomes the ambient atmospheric pressure.
  • The hotter part of the boiler close the heat source moves rapidly away because they have become less dense.
  • The colder and denser part sinks and this interaction sets up a convection cell.

Why is large-scale nuclear fission a rare phenomenon on Earth? A. There isn't enough energy to start a chain reaction in nature.
siniylev [52]

The answer is; C

The radioisotopes in the interior of the earth are not in pure form and have many embedded impurities and are interspersed. Therefore when a neutron is released by a decaying atom, its chances of hitting another radioisotope atom (to continue the chain reaction) are lower than in a manmade nuclear reactor. This way, the radioactive chain reaction in the earth’s interior is not well sustained.
