Answer:

A

Explanation:

The general rule when it comes to the states of matter is that, the higher the temperature gets, the more the individual molecules vibrate, and they have more energy to escape the bonds that hold them in place. While, if the temperature decreases, then the molecules have less kinetic energy and the bonds/forces between the molecules ends up keeping them in a position where they cannot escape.

So with the example of iron. Iron is solid at room temperature, and hence would have a high melting point and boiling point, when compared with a substance that is liquid at room temperature (mercury).

If mercury is in a liquid state, then that means it is closer to its boiling point, than another element in a solid state.

Earth's age is closest to _____ years
Angelina_Jolie [31]
<span>Since the planet Earth doesn't have a birth certificate to record its formation, scientists have spent hundreds of years struggling to determine the age of the planet. By dating the rocks in the ever-changing crust, as well as neighbors such as the moon and visiting meteorites, scientists have calculated that Earth is 4.54 billion years old, with an error range of 50 million years.
Hope this helps</span>

A boy on the beach holds a spherical balloon filled with air. at 10:00am, the temperature on the beach is 20°c and the balloon h
Anon25 [30]
For idea gases, volume is directly proportional to temperature. That is, an increase in temperature leads to increase in volume and vice versa.

Therefore,
V1/T1 = V2/T2 => T2 = (V2*T1)/V1

Assuming that the balloon is spherical in shape,

V= 4/3*pi*R^3.... In the formula for calculating T2, 4/3*pi cancels out.

R1 = 30/2 15 cm; R2 = 30.5/2 = 15.25 cm; T1 = 20+273.15 =293.15 K

Therefore,

T2 = (R2^3*T1)/R1^3 = (15.25^3*293.15)/15^3 = 308.05 K = 34.9 °C

The moon’s period of revolution is 27 1/3 days, and its period of rotation about its axis is _____.
mestny [16]
It lasts 29 1/2 days.
-the sidereal month- is the true period of the moon's revolution around Earth. It lasts 27 1/3 days.
-the difference of 2 days between the synodic and sidereal cycles is due to the Earth- moon system also moving in an orbit around the sun.
