3. Other names for S- waves are secondary waves, shear waves, and sometimes elastic S-waves. Other names for P-waves are primary waves and compressional waves.
4. You need 3 stations, because scientists find the difference between the arrival times of the primary and the secondary waves at each of the 3 stations, then the time difference is used to determine the distance of the epicentre from each station. The greater the difference in time, the further away the epicentre is. A circle is drawn around each station, with a radius corresponding to the epicentre’s distance from that station. The point where the three circles meet is the epicentre. If you only had two stations, you could only predict the epicentre, as the point where all three circles meet wouldn’t be complete, you’d have to try and estimate where the third one would intercept. This would greaten the chance of error and isn’t as accurate.

Hope this helps!

Compared to CH4,NH3 has:
vitfil [10]

a) NH₃ molecules have stronger intermolecular attractions than CH₄ molecules.

Explanation:

Ammonia molecules have stronger intermolecular attractions compared to methane.

Ammonia molecules have london dispersion forces and hydrogen bonds between their molecules.

Methane molecules have only london dispersion forces in their structure.

  • hydrogen bonds are very strong attractive forces between molecules in which the hydrogen of a molecule is attracted by a more electronegative atom of another usually oxygen, nitrogen and fluorine.
  • London dispersion forces are weak forces of attraction between heteronuclear atoms.

Phosphorus atomic radius is smaller than magnesium atomic radius <br> True or false
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Atomic radius can be defined as a measure of the size (distance) of the atom of a chemical element such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen etc, typically from the nucleus to the valence electrons. The atomic radius of a chemical element decreases across the periodic table, typically from alkali metals (group one elements such as hydrogen, lithium and sodium) to noble gases (group eight elements such as argon, helium and neon). Also, the atomic radius of a chemical element increases down each group of the periodic table, typically from top to bottom (column).

<em>Hence, the atomic radius of phosphorus is smaller than the atomic radius of magnesium. Basically, the atomic radius of phosphorus is 98 pm while the atomic radius of magnesium is 145 pm.</em>

If the heating curve is reversed, what describes the boiling point?
GalinKa [24]
Boiling is the process of converting a substance from liquid state to gaseous state. If the heating curve is reversed, the process also is reversed from converting gaseous state to liquid state. In this case, the reverse of boiling is condensation. So the answer is point of condensation.
