Refraction is the change in direction of waves that occurs when waves travel from one medium to another. It is always accompanied by a wavelength and speed of change. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and openings.

Argon, atomic number 18, has an atomic weight of 39.9. Potassium, atomic number 19, has an atomic weight of 39.1. Which of these
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: D

Explanation:

Atomic weight is measured by adding the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Argon's atomic number is 18 while potassium's is 19. This means that Argon will always have 18 protons while potassium will always have 19 protons.

To make the numbers easier to work with, round each atomic weight. We'll say the atomic weight of potassium is 39 and the atomic weight of argon is 40. To see how many neutrons each one has, I can set up a simple equation for each using the following equation:

Atomic weight = protons + neutrons

Potassium:

39 = 19 + N  -->  N = 20

Argon:

40 = 18 + N  -->  N = 22

An atom is defined by the number of protons it has, but the number of neutrons can vary. We call these isotopes, or atoms with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. As the math shows, argon typically has more neutrons per atom than potassium does.

Kara is writing a science-fiction story. In the story, Earth no longer experiences day and night.
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

C. She should get the Earth spinning on its axis again.

Explanation:

The Earth experiences day and night because of its spinning on its own axis.

If Kara's science-fiction story doesn't have the Earth spinning on its own axis, then the Earth will not experience day and night and hence Kara should incorporate this idea into his story.
