Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Porosity means the ease with which a fluid can pass through between a rock or cracks etc.
If particles of a soil are flat and even if they are sorted then there will rarely be any space available for fluid or water to pass through it.
If soil particles are round in shape and are sorted then there will be space available for the fluid to pass through it. Hence, this type of soil will be most porous.
Similarly, if soil particles are round but are unsorted then there will be less space available as compared to sorted particles. This is because particles are placed randomly so, somewhere there will be much less space and somewhere there will be large space available. As a result, soil will not be most porous.
If soil particles are flat and unsorted then there will also be less space available for the fluid to pass through it. Thus, soil will be less porous.
Hence, we can conclude that out of the given options, soil B - round, sorted particles is the most porous.

Answer:
lbm/ft³ or psi/ft
Explanation:
The description in the question shows the density to measured is that of gases (upper atmosphere). The density of a gas can be described as the mass of the gas divided by the volume of the gas at a certain temperature and pressure. It's unit can be represented as lbm/ft³ or psi/ft.
NOTE:
"lbm" means "lean body mass" which is a unit for mass or weight and can be described as the pound mass
"psi" means "pound per square inch"; is also a unit for mass or weight
Answer:
The difference between the Thompson's plum pudding model and the Rutherford atom model is the location of the electrons (option a).
Explanation:
While Thompson compared his atom to a plum pudding, where the electrons floated freely in the pudding, Rutherford established the arrangement of the electrons in orbitals, which were found around the atomic nucleus like the planets around the sun.
Rutherford's findings also established the existence of a small, positively charged nucleus.
<em>Thompson and Rutherford models did not differentiate between the charges of electrons and protons
, overall charges or overall size of the atom.</em>
