Answer:

The statement that best describes insulators is <u><em>"Electrons within their atoms are strongly held by the nuclei"</em></u>

Explanation:

Atoms are constituted by a nucleus with positive charge (protons and neutrons), around which negative charges (electrons) revolve.

Substances that have a huge amount of "free electrons" that can move through the material are called conductors. This is due to the low resistance to the movement of the load or electric current.

Materials that do not conduct electricity are called insulators. In this case the electrons are strongly bound to the nucleus and cannot move freely. In this way a great resistance to the flow of electric current is offered.

Finally, semiconductors are the materials that can have electrical properties of conductors or insulators.

So<u><em> the statement that best describes insulators is "Electrons within their atoms are strongly held by the nuclei"</em></u>

The constant is the temperature of the air that the plants get.

The independent variable is the thing that YOU control.  That's the amount of sunlight each plant gets.

The <em>dependent variable</em> is anything that's caused by changes in the independent variable.  That's the growth of the plants.

Explain why mess extinctions occur and why it make sense to measure geologic time between mass extinctions
Nastasia [14]
Mass extinction occur from natural disasters, such as a n asteroid hitting earth or a volcano errupting and spread ash everywhere.

It makes sense to measure geologic time between mass extinctions because after each mass extinction, there is almost no life left and the few left have to repopulate, which may lead way to new mutations and new varieties of plants and animals.

Identify the labeled parts in the figure.
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

I. a, c, f and h

II. e

III. b, d, g and i

IV. i

Explanation:

I. Chemical symbols are simple abbreviations used to represent various elements or compound. They consist entire of alphabet.

For the diagram given above, the labelled parts which represent chemical symbol are: a, c, f and h

II. Coefficients are numbers written before the chemical symbol of elements or compound.

For the diagram given above, the labelled part which represent Coefficient is: e

III. Number of atoms of element present in a compound is simply obtained by taking note of the numbers written as subscript in the chemical formula of the compound.

For the diagram given above, the labelled part which represent the number of atoms of the element are: b, d, g and i

IV. When no number is written as subscript in the formula of the element in the compound, it means the element has just 1 atom in the compound.

For the diagram given above, the labelled part which indicates that only 1 atom of the element is present is: i
