The definition from what I know because I remember it from biology I think is "a theory explaining the structure of the earth's crust and some other associated phenomena as resulting from the interaction of a rigid lithospheric plates that move slowly over the underlying mantle." I'll put the quotations for you to copy what I said so it doesn't sound like you got it off me and I hopefully spelt lithospheric right
Answer:
(b) gas and dust
Explanation:
"The interstellar medium is the stuff between the stars. Made up mostly of hydrogen and helium gas – plus trace amounts of ices, silicate grains, and all the other elements – it contains all the material needed to make stars and planets. It is shaped by stellar winds, dying stars, galactic magnetic fields, and supernova explosions."
"The interstellar medium is filled primarily with hydrogen gas. A relatively significant amount of helium has also been detected, along with smaller percentages of such substances as calcium, sodium, water, ammonia, and formaldehyde . Sizable quantities of dust particles of uncertain composition are present as well."
Answer:
Increasing atomic number - True
Explanation:
The modern table is based on Mendeleev’s table, except the modern table arranges the elements by increasing atomic number instead of atomic mass.
The Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom, and this number is unique for each element. For example, Hydrogen has an atomic number of 1, Calcium has an atomic number of 20.
In the modern periodic table the elements are further arranged into:
- rows, called periods, in order of increasing atomic number. Elements in the same periods have the same number of shells.
- vertical columns, called groups, where the elements have similar properties. Elements in the same group has the same number of valency (outermost number of electrons)
