We know this because of the discovery of fossils and bones. We can find out roughly when they existed because of carbon dating.

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The correct option is 2.No, because only electrons are involved in bonding.

Explanation:

The type of bond formed by carbon and nitrogen (carbon-nitrogen bond) is covalent bond

Also known as molecular bond, a covalent bond involves the sharing of pairs of electrons (known as bonding pairs or shared pairs) between the carbon and nitrogen atoms forming stable, balanced forces in attraction and repulsion as they share common electrons in their compounds.

This electron sharing covalent bond is what enables the formation of the several compounds between carbon and nitrogen for example, in an amine, nitrogen which has five electrons, has two remaining electrons that forms a lone pair whereby it can combine further with other elements.

Hence the factor that influences the bonds to make the numerous organic molecules is the available electrons which constitutes the shared electron pairs in covalent bonds while the neutrons which function is to keep the repulsive forces of positively charged protons from ripping the nucleus apart.

What would most likely happen if the moon was closer to Earth (take tides into consideration)?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Low tides would be lower and high tides would be higher and any low lying coastline would be flooded

Explanation:

Also...

If the moon got about 20 times closer it would make a gravitational force 400 times greater than what we are used to now

Bromine reacts with nitric oxide to form nitrosyl bromide as shown in this reaction: br2(g) + 2 no(g) → 2 nobr(g) a possible mec

Svetach [21]

The overall reaction is given by:

$Br_{2}(g) + 2 NO(g) \rightarrow 2 NOBr(g)$

The fast step reaction is given as:

$NO(g) + Br_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons NOBr_{2}(g) (fast; k_{eq}= \frac{k_{1}}{k_{-1}})$

The slow step reaction is given as:

$NOBr_{2}(g) + NO(g) \rightarrow 2 NOBr(g)$ (slow step $k_{2}$ )

Now, the expression for the rate of reaction of fast reaction is:

$r_{1}=k_{1}[NO][Br_{2}]-k_{-1}[NOBr_{2}]$

The expression for the rate of reaction of slow reaction is:

$r_{2}=k_{2}[NOBr_{2}] [NO]$

Slow step is the rate determining step. Thus, the overall rate of formation is the rate of formation of slow reaction as $[NOBr_{2}]$ takes place in this reaction.

The expression of rate of formation is:

$\frac{d(NOBr)}{dt}=r_{2}$

= $k_{2}[NOBr_{2}][NO]$ (1)

Now, consider that the fast step is always is in equilibrium. Therefore, $r_{1}=0$

$k_{1}[NO][Br_{2}]= k_{-1}[NOBr_{2}]$

$[NOBr_{2}] = \frac{k_{1}}{k_{-1}}[NO][Br_{2}]$

Substitute the value of $[NOBr_{2}]$ in equation (1), we get:

$\frac{d(NOBr)}{dt}=k_{2}[NOBr_{2}][NO]$

= $k_{2} \frac{k_{1}}{k_{-1}}[NO][Br_{2}][NO]$

= $\frac{k_{1}k_{2}}{k_{-1}}[NO]^{2}[Br_{2}]$

Thus, rate law of formation of $NOBr$ in terms of reactants is given by $\frac{k_{1}k_{2}}{k_{-1}}[NO]^{2}[Br_{2}]$ .

The age of fossils can sometimes be determined by radiometric dating, which is based on the constant rate of decay of radioactiv

True [87]

The age of the fossil given the present amount of Carbon-14 is given in the equation,
A(t) = A(o)(0.5)^t/h
where A(t) is the current amount, A(o) is the initial amount, t is time and h is the half-life. Substituting the known values to the equation,
A(t) / A(o) = 0.125 = (0.5)^(t/5730)
The value of t from the equation is 17190.
Thus, the age of the fossil is mostly likely to be 17190 years old.
