of the following is NOT a fact, but is a hypothesis? A. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased since 1950. B. Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide will cause mean global temperature to increase by 2 degrees Celsius over the next century. C. The burning of fossil fuels contributes substantially to the ongoing rise of atmospheric CO2. D. In the past, atmospheric CO2 levels reached levels higher than those observed today.

Answer:

B. Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide will cause mean global temperature to increase by 2 degrees Celsius over the next century.

Explanation:

By definition, a hypothesis is a tentative statement or prediction with little or no experimental test. Hypotheses are always formulated such that they can be rejected if experimental findings are against them.

Hypotheses are predictive and as such, the tone is often in future tense.

<em>From the available options, only option B sound predictive of what might happen in the future. </em>

Hence, the correct option is B.

Answer:

An atom is made of up subatomic particles called protons, neutrons and electrons. The center of an atom is called the nucleus and is where the protons and neutrons are held while electrons orbit the nucleus in orbital shells. A electron has a negative charge, a proton has a positive charge, and a neutron has no charge (neutral).

The atomic number of a atom is the total amount of the atom's protons. In a neutral atom (Not an ion), the amount of electrons is the same as the protons. Therefore, the atomic number also tells the amount of electrons in the atom.

A ion is a negatively or positively charged particle due to the giving or taking of electrons with one or more atoms (Called an ionic bond). An atom that gives away electrons becomes positively charge because that atom now has more protons than neutrons. An atom that takes an electron becomes negatively charge because that atom now has more electrons than protons.

Atomic Mass is the sum of an atom proton and neutrons. To determine how many neutron an atom has, subtract the atomic mass from the atomic number. Electrons do not play a part in atomic mass as their mass is  1/1,836 of a proton's mass.

A isotope is two or more forms of the same element that contain equal amounts of protons but different amount of neutrons.

Answer:

Explanation:

The Lanthanides were first discovered in 1787 when a unusual black mineral was found in Ytterby, Sweden. This mineral, now known as Gadolinite, was later separated into the various Lanthanide elements. In 1794, Professor Gadolin obtained yttria, an impure form of yttrium oxide, from the mineral.
