The rotation of the earth viewed from the south pole is clockwise.
a low pressure area would have a clockwise turning and a high pressure area would have a counterclockwise turnig

Now consider a low pressure area on a disk as shown below.A parcel of air at point A would move toward the center of the low pressure area. That movement would take it farther away from the center of the disk and therefore it would move to the west. A parcel of air at B would move toward the center of the low pressure area which would also take it closer to the center of the spinning disk where its speed is greater than the surrounding points. It would appear to move to the east. With A moving to the west and B moving to the east the line from A to B is rotating counterclockwise.

Which statement describes the distribution of charge in an atom?

miv72 [106K]

The correct answer is:

A positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons

The explanation:

when:

proton is a positively charged elementary particle that is a fundamental constituent of all atomic nuclei.

neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of every atom except that of simple hydrogen. The particle derives its name from the fact that it has no electrical charge

electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle. It can be either free (not attached to any atom), or bound to the nucleus of an atom .

so, , there are positively charged protons and zero-charged neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Therefore, the nucleus is positively charged, Surrounding the nucleus, the electrons have negative charge.

Thus, the correct answer is (3): A positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons is correct.

Elemental iodine (I 2) is a solid at room temperature. What is the major attractive force that exists among different I 2 molecu

Ulleksa [173]

Explanation:

As $I_{2}$ is a covalent compound because it is made up by the combination of two non-metal atoms. Atomic number of an iodine atom is 53 and it contains 7 valence electrons as it belongs to group 17 of the periodic table.

Therefore, sharing of electrons will take place when two iodine atoms chemically combine with each other leading to the formation of a covalent bonding.

Hence, weak forces like london dispersion forces will be present between a molecule of $I_{2}$ .

The weak intermolecular forces which can arise either between nucleus and electrons or between electron-electron are known as dispersion forces. These forces are also known as London dispersion forces and these are temporary in nature.

thus, we can conclude that london dispersion force is the major attractive force that exists among different $I_{2}$ molecules in the solid.

Graph of the relationship between mass and thermal energy

elixir [45]

Thermal energy is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all the particles in an object.

Assume that you have 250 gL of water and 1 kg of water at the same temperature.

Then, each water molecule has the same kinetic energy.

The larger sample contains four times as many molecules, so it contains four times as much thermal energy.

Thus, thermal energy is directly proportional to mass.

In symbols, KE ∝ m or KE = km.

The graph of a direct proportion is a straight line passing trough the origin.

It should look something like the graph below.
