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.
What are you asking? Id love to help but cant without proper information
Answer:
two atoms
Explanation:
In its stable molecular form, oxygen exists as two atoms and is written O2. to distinguish it from an atom of oxygen O, or ozone, a molecule of three oxygen atoms, O3. Even though each of these is all oxygen, combining atoms of the same element may give very different properties to the molecule.
Answer: The correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.
Explanation:
Hello! Let's solve this!
We will analyze each of the options:
A. The group number of the element provides a clue to the number of valence electrons: it is correct, since it provides the number of valence electrons.
B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable: this is not correct, since elements with eight electrons in the valence shell cannot react because they already have the last complete shell. Therefore, they are chemically stable.
C. The points must be placed one at a time on each side of the chemical symbol: it is correct, because that is the way to make the point diagram.
D. An atom is chemically stable if all the points are paired: this is correct since this verifies that the point diagram has been done well.
We conclude that the correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.
Hope this helps..... Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!! :D
Answer:Matter is defined as anything that has mass and takes up space (it has volume). ... Volume is the amount of space something occupies. Words such as big, little, long, or short are used to describe volumes.
