Explain how Earth is heated through radiation.

Chemistry
1 answer:
MatroZZZ [7]3 years ago
7 0

Heat from the Earth's core and radiation from the Sun is transferred to the surface of the Earth by conduction. Contact of the atmosphere with these warm surfaces transfers thermal energy, which then heats up the rest of the air through convection

Which of the following properly displays alpha decay?
tatyana61 [14]
<span>Alpha decay or α-decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and thereby transforms or 'decays' into an atom with a mass number that is reduced by four and an atomic number that is reduced by two.

You didn't list any options, but I hope this helps!

Consider the most common ions formed by fluorine (F–), sodium (Na+), magnesium (Mg2+), and aluminum (Al3+), respectively. How ma
alukav5142 [94]

The ions F⁻, Na⁺, Mg²⁺, and Al³⁺ have 10 electrons, as Ne, the closest noble gas.

To determine the number of electrons of an ion, we need to consider:

  • The atomic number (Z): It establishes the number of protons and electrons in the neutral species.
  • The charge: It indicates the number of electrons gained (negative charge) or lost (positive charge).

  • Fluorine (F⁻)

F has 9 electrons (Z = 9) and it gains 1 electron to form F⁻. The total number of electrons is 9 + 1 = 10.

  • Sodium (Na⁺)

Na has 11 electrons (Z = 11) and it loses 1 electron to form Na⁺. The total number of electrons is 11 - 1 = 10.

  • Magnesium (Mg²⁺)

Mg has 12 electrons (Z = 12) and it loses 2 electrons to form Mg²⁺. The total number of electrons is 12 - 2 = 10.

  • Aluminum (Al³⁺)

Al has 13 electrons (Z = 13) and it loses 3 electrons to form Al³⁺. The total number of electrons is 13 - 3 = 10.

The ions F⁻, Na⁺, Mg²⁺, and Al³⁺ have 10 electrons, as Ne, the closest noble gas.

What is the means by which atoms form chemical bonds?
Natali5045456 [20]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Chemical bonds are formed by gaining, yielding or sharing electrons to reach stable electronic configurations such as those of noble gases. Electropositive atoms give up electrons to complete the most stable configuration, leaving them with a negative charge defect.

The density of copper decreases as temperature increases (as does the density of most substances). Which change occurs in a samp
azamat

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As we know that density the amount of mass present in per unit volume.

Mathematically,      Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

So, it means that density is inversely proportional to volume. Hence, when there will be decrease in density of a substance then there will be increase in its volume. That is, expansion of substance will take place.

Also, boiling point of copper is 2,562 degree celsius but we are heating it up to a temperature of 95 degree celsius. This means that copper will remain in liquid state at this temperature.

Thus, we can conclude that a change which occurs in a sample of copper is that copper sample will expand.
