Gee. I'll have to guess at what's "commonly thought".
One thing is the scale. Nobody has an accurate picture of the scale in
his head, because we never see a true-scale drawing. THAT's because
it's almost impossible to draw one on paper.
Example:
Shrink the solar system and everything in it so that the Sun
is the size of a quarter (the 25¢ coin).
Then:
-- The Earth is in orbit around the sun, 8.6 feet from it.
That's close enough that you might think you could find the
shrunken Earth. Unfortunately, it's only 0.009 inch in diameter.
-- The shrunken Jupiter is a 'huge' gas giant almost 0.1 inch in diameter.
It's orbiting the sun, about 45 feet away from it.
-- The shrunken Uranus is another gas giant, about 0.035 inch in diameter.
It's orbiting the sun, about 165 feet away from it.
-- The nearest star outside of the solar system is 441 MILES away !
On the same shrunken scale !
And there's NOTHING between here and there !
I think that's the biggest point to make about the REAL solar system ...
its utter emptiness. With the sun reduced to something you can hold
in your hand, the planets are the size of grains of sand, with hundreds
of feet of nothingness between them.
Same for its mass: The solar system is approximately nothing but a star.
That's it. A star, with some dust and some gas around it, and here and there
in the neighborhood a microscopic pebble or a chip of mineral. But mostly
it's nothing but a star ... if you went around and gathered up all that other
rubbish in the same bag and called it a part of the same solar system, the
sun would still have more than 99% of the total mass, and the bag would
hold less than 1% of it.
Book ... It's getting late, Hillary's fading, and that's all I can think of.
I hope this much is some help.
Answer:
Each principal energy level above the first contains one s orbital and three p orbitals. A set of three p orbitals, called the p sublevel, can hold a maximum of six electrons. Therefore, the second level can contain a maximum of eight electrons - that is, two in the s orbital and 6 in the three p orbitals.

Answer:
Regularly test the water in residents' homes.
Explanation:
The only way to know if tap water contains lead is to do tests to determine the levels of that metal in the water. Therefore, the state is under an obligation to constantly conduct such tests in the resident´s homes and thus determine whether the water supplied is fit for human consumption.
The state after the tests must guarantee the population the treatment of the water to reduce the levels of lead. The main pipes that contain lead pipes must be changed, as well as those parts of the service connections made of lead.
I think it's D, because theoretical yield is like, the yield you'd get if 100% of the reactants formed to make product. Well that's how I think of it, but it has something to do with limiting reagents and stuff. Sorry this isn't a really detailed explanation.
In Virginia, the continental divide separates the New River from the Roanoake and James River. East of the continental divide, the rivers flow east or south toward the Atlantic Ocean. West of the continental divide, the rivers flow north or west toward the Gulf of Mexico by way of the Ohio and the Mississippi Rivers.
