“The Earth’s lithosphere is thinner than its asthenosphere”, the statement correctly compares the thicknesses of Earth’s layers

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

The outermost parts of the Earth composed of crust and a part of the upper mantle is termed as lithosphere. And asthenosphere is positioned below lithosphere. The bottom layer of lithosphere has the parts of the upper crust.

So the highly viscous and ductile region in the remaining part of the upper crust forms the asthenosphere below the lithosphere. The upper crust in the lithosphere region contain elastic properties while the upper crust in the asthenosphere is ductile in nature. Thus the statement that lithosphere is thinner than asthenosphere is true as it is located at the surface.

Which statement refers to the quantum mechanical model? A) Electrons move in a circular path about the nucleus. B) Electrons can
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Electrons are in "orbitals", regions of space where there is high probability of being found.

Explanation:

The Wave mechanical model of the atom does not restrict the electrons to certain energy levels only as in the Bohr's model, instead it describes a region around the nucleus called an orbital, where there is a high probability of finding an electron with a certain amount of energy.

Each energy level is composed of one or more orbitals and the distribution of electrons around the nucleus is determined by the number and kind of energy levels that are occupied.
