Explain how the processes that occur at mid-ocean ridges and ocean trenches illustrate the cycling of matter.

Explanation:

At one end, new crusts are being produced, at other end the crust is being destroyed and this strikes a unique balance.

At the mid-ocean ridges, the lithospheric plates are diverging. This is implies that the earth is pulling apart here. When the earth is pulling apart, new materials from the asthenosphere comes to the surface thereby creating new lithospheric plate.

As new plates are formed, they push back against the old one. New plates are found very close to the margin and it begins to age away from the margin.

On the other end, old plates are taken away from this center to ocean trenches. At oceanic trenches subduction is occurring.

In a subduction, the lithospheric plate plunges deep into the asthenosphere where they are being melted back.

This is a covergent margin.

This process continues in a dynamic manner to cycle matter on earth.

Name the following compound: <br> C5Si7
skad [1K]

Answer:

Pentacarbon heptasilicide.

Explanation:

In order to name the following compound, we need to identify whether it is molecular or ionic.

Molecular compounds consist of non-metal atoms, while ionic compounds would have metal cations in their composition.

In the given compound, C_5Si_7, we have two non-metals, carbon and silicon, meaning we should follow the molecular compound naming rules. The rules involve using prefixes to state the number of individual atoms.

The two prefixes required here are 'penta' for 'five' to indicate 5 carbon atoms present and 'hepta' for 'seven' to indicate 7 silicon atoms present.

The first part of the name would be pentacarbon (notice that the standard name for the first element is used). The second part would be heptasilicide (notice that the second atom would have an ending of -ide followed by the standard beginning of silicon).
