Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A compound is defined as a substance in which two or more different elements in a fixed ratio by mass combine chemically with each other.

For example, chemical formula of water is H_{2}O and it is a compound because here two atoms of hydrogen chemically combine with one atom of oxygen.

And, the ratio of these atoms is 2 : 1. A compound can be broken down into simpler substance by chemical means only.

Whereas an element is a substance that contains only same type of atoms that cannot be broken down into simpler substances.

Thus, we can conclude that water is a compound because it always has two hydrogen atoms for each oxygen atom.

the half-life of carbon-14 is 5,730 years. After 11,460 year, how much of original carbon-14 remains?
Inessa [10]

Via the half-life equation:

A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{h}}

Where the time elapse is 11,460 year and the half-life is 5,730 years.

A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{11460}{5730} \\\\A_{final}=A_{initial}\frac{1}{4} \\\\A_{final}=\frac{1}{4}A_{initial}

Therefore after 11,460 years the amount of carbon-14 is one fourth (1/4) of the original amount.

On which date is the gravitational force between Earth and the moon the greatest?
Genrish500 [490]

The gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon are greatest when the two bodies are closest together. That happens every 27.32 days, when the Moon is at the perigee of its orbit.

Even if this happened at the same time in every orbit, the date would change, because there are not 27.32 days in a month.

But it doesn't happen at the same time in every orbit ... the Moon's perigee precesses around its orbit, on account of the gravitational forces toward the Earth, the Sun, Venus, Mars, and the other planets.
