When two plates push against each other shear stress will happem because they move in opposite directions. In this case the force of the stress pushes some of the crust in different directions. When this happens, a large part of the crust can break off, which makes the plate size smaller.

B) Ethane has the formula C2H6. In terms of electronic structure,

k0ka [10]

Answer:

There is one single covalent bond between two carbon atoms.

Explanation:

We know that sharing of electrons form covalent bonds.

If we look upon K,L,M ,N shells of the carbon and hydrogen atoms.

We found that Hydrogen is having only $1$ electron in K shell.

And Carbon on the other hand is having $2$ electrons in K shell and $4$ electrons in L shell.

So carbon have $4$ valence electrons,and it can share $4$ bonds with any relevant atom to complete its octet.

And Hydrogen requires $1$ electron to complete its doublet.

Alkane general formula $C_{n}H_{2n+2}$

For ethane $n=2$

$C_{2}H_{4+2}$ $=$ $C_{2}H_{6}$

$1$ Carbon atom is shared by $3$ Hydrogen.

The remaining one electron $(4-3)=1$ of carbon will be shared with another carbon atom.

An image of the sharing of electrons attached below,

Hence we have only $1$ covalent bond between the two.

How are protists different from plants

kotegsom [21]

Answer/ explanation :

Protist can be multicellular or unicellular organisms

Plants are all multicellular and also exhibit cellular differentiation.

Protist can be autotroph, heterotrophic or decomposer

Plants are only autotrophs because they manufacture their own food through photosynthesis

Protists are microscopic, more diverse and abundant in nature

Plants are big and complex in nature

Nuclear DNA strands in plants are of higher complexity than those of protist

Plants require oxygen for cellular respiration process unlike protist which can be aerobic and some other species facultative anaerobic

Plants only can reproduce asexually through bulbs and tubers as in yam, potatoes while protists reproduce either sexually through meiosis or asexually through simple cell division.

A sample of magnesium is burned in oxygen to form magnesium oxide. What mass of oxygen is consumed if 74.62 g magnesium oxide is

lana [24]

74.62 g of magnesium oxide is formed from 45.00 g magnesium so 74.62-45.00= 29.62 g of oxygen is consumed or in other words a new compound is formed in the burning of magnesium in oxygen with a heavier mass than the pure magnesium.
