<em>"Sedimentary rocks are formed by the pressure over millions of years of organic material, inorganic material, sediment of course , and earth piling up over itself. Metamorphic rock and igneous rock originate either below the surface where plants lived and creatures roamed, or the heat from volcanic activity transformed everything. Sedimentary rock formation is the only geologic activity that permits and allows organic material preservation and hence fossil formation." </em>- <u>Charles Snider, Co-Founder of American Geode (on Quora.com)</u>

A sample of salt (sodium chloride) is placed on the tip of a platinum wire. When the sample is heated on blue flame the flame tu
gulaghasi [49]
So platinum is a transition metal. In general transition metals are reducers, which means they can give the electrons they have, to the sodium atoms. Also in chemistry we look at sub orbitals rather that shells(2,8,8). So due to the energy from heat, the d orbital split as electrons move to a higher energy level. Some of the electrons are given to the sodium ions and therefore the flame changes colour to yellow. 
The excitation of the electrons is caused by them getting energy and so moving up an energy level. This energy is released and the electron returns to it's original state. The energy released, however, does not release in the same direction, but in different/various directions. Therefore the colour of the light changes as some energy is released in the surrounding.

Find the average speed of a person who swims 105 m in 70 s
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

v = 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by a person, d = 105 m

Time taken, t = 70 s

We need to find the average speed of the person. We know that the average speed is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{105\ m}{70\ s}\\\\v=1.5\ m/s

So, the average speed of the person is equal to 1.5 m/s.
