How do scientists know that the universe is expanding?

It is known that the elements captivate and emit specific wavelengths of light, that is, the part of the electromagnetic spectrum. By examining the wavelengths of light discharged by an object in space, one can attain an ample amount of information. The astronomers studied the variation in the position of lines in the spectrum from a star, this can predict the distance of the star, that is, and whether it is moving away or towards us, and how quickly it is moving.  

While studying the radiation discharged by the galaxies or the distant stars, the scientists witnessed the shifting of emission spectra towards the red region of the electromagnetic spectrum, that is, the witnessed wavelengths are longer than anticipated.  

There is something, which is responsible for the wavelength of the radiation to stretch. However, in spite of a real variation in the wavelength, this procedure was something identical to the Doppler Effect.

Galaxies are moving away from us and the farther away a galaxy is the faster it is moving away from us. The galaxies seem to be receding from us because the entire universe is getting larger.

The name 3-chloro-2-propylbutane is not an accepted name for the compound described. what would be the correct name for this com
Illusion [34]
The longest hydrocarbon chain in the given compound is hexane, therefore it is the parent chain to be considered with one methyl group attached to the 3rd carbon and one chloro attached on the 2nd carbon, therefore the name of the compound is 2-chloro-3-methylhexane

Do you notice a pattern in the charge for elements in each group? Explain.
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Below are some patterns in the charge for elements in each group.

Group 1 elements : 1 valence electron and form ions with charge +1

Group 2 elements : 2 valence electrons and form ions with charge + 2

Group 3 elements : 3 valence electrons and form ions with charge + 3(there are some exceptions as well)

Elements in groups 4 and 5 are unpredictable also the D block elements consist of multiple oxidation states..

Group 6 elements : 6 valence electrons, form ions with charge -2

Group 7 elements: 7 valence electrons, form ions with charge -1  

The octet rule is being followed, the elements form either ionic bond or covalent bond to fulfill it.

eg: when a K atom forms a K+ ion, the ion has the same electron configuration as the noble gas Ar (argon).

When an O atom gains 2 electrons to form the O²⁻ ion, the ion has the same electron configuration as the noble gas Ne (neon).  

Note: Boron (B) is in Group 3 but doesn't form ions.

Compare and contrast the molecular activity of solids, liquids, and gases.​
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The molecules in a solid are close together and they vibrate in place. The molecules in a liquid move quickly and farther apart from eachother. The particles in a gas move freely at high speeds and slide past eachother.
