Answer:b

Reason

A. They have more energy than a in a solid not less

B. Particles in a liquid are faster than a solid but slow than a gas. They are closer together than a gas but further apart then a solid.

C. Particles in a solid are as slow as they can get.

D. They are closer then in plasma

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In liquids, molecules are closer together as compared to molecules of a gas. As molecules of a liquid are held by less strong forces of attraction.

Hence, these molecules have some  kinetic energy due to which collisions occur between them.

Since, there are gaps present between molecules of a liquid. Therefore, they have definite volume but no definite shape.

On the other hand, molecules of a gas are held together by weak intermolecular forces. Hence, they have very high kinetic energy and more number of collisions take place between them.

Gases do not have a definite shape and they occupy whole volume of a container in which they are kept.

In solids, molecules are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. Hence, they are not able to move from their initial place and thus they have definite shape and volume.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement they are closer together and slower moving than the particles in a gas, is generally true about the particles in a liquid.

What design element of an astronaut's spacesuits protects him or her from micrometeoroids, which are tiny bits of space debris t
leonid [27]

Answer:

Tough outer shell

Explanation:

Three types of space suits based on their purpose are IVA (Intravehicular activity), EVA (extravehicular activity), and IEVA (intra/extravehicular activity)

Space suits have an outer layer known as the Integrated Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment also known as the TMG or ITMG

The functions of the TMG includes the provision of an insulation medium to the wearer of the suit thereby preventing loss of heat and keeping the wearer warm, protect the wearer from solar radiation which are harmful as well as from Micrometeoroid and debris orbiting in space known as MMOD

The outermost layer of the EMU TMG suits is white Ortho-Fabric that consists of Nomex, Kevlar and Gore-Tex, making it fire resistant, very strong and very tough, and water proof as well as breathable.

Describe what half-life is.<br> answer in a paragraph please.
dangina [55]

Half-life is defined as the quantity to reduce to half of its initial value.

Explanation:

The term half-life is generally used in nuclear physics which describes how long a stable atom can survive a radioactive decay or how quickly an unstable stable atom can undergo radioactive decay. Half-life is a constant and does not have any units.

<u>The formula to calculate half-life: </u>

N(t) = \bold{N_{0} e^{-\lambda t}}

Here N(t) is the quantity which is “not decayed”.

N_0 is the “initial quantity” of the substance.

λ is the “decay constant”

Find if the example is correct or not and explain using CER please. Will give 5/5
ELEN [110]

The Lewis structure the student drew is incorrect. The total number of electrons in bonds and lone pairs is equal to the total number of valence electrons available, then a valid Lewis structure is produced.

The correct structure is the following:

The structure that was drawn by the student was incorrect because the total number of electrons around Oxygen were incorrect, there were 6 instead of 8, which was against the octet rule. The correct structure should have 8 electrons around each atom.
