There are 92 naturally occurring elements. How does this relate to the number of compounds?
raketka [301]

C) Elements combine in different ways to create many more than 92 compounds.

Explanation:

The number of elements we have relates to the compound formation in that, elements combine in different ways to create many more than 92.

Elements are distinct substances that cannot be split up into simpler substances. Such substances are only made up of one kind of atom.

Compounds are substances that are made up of two or more kinds of atoms joined together in a definite grouping.

  • Several millions of compounds are known because elements can combine in different ways.
  • The number of elements do not increase because new elements are discovered, it is because elements have several ways by they combine.

Which statements accurately describe Ernest Rutherford’s experiment? Check all that apply.
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Option (1), option (4) and option (5)

Explanation:

The main observations of Ernest Rutherford's experiment are given below:

1. most of the positively charged particles pass straight, it means there is an empty space in the atom.

2. Very few positively charged particles retraces their path.

So,

The positively charged particles were deflected because like charges repel, that means they are deflected by protons.

Almost all the positively charge concentrate in a very small part which is called nucleus.

Suppose you wanted to start a fire using sunlight and a mirror. Which of the following statements is most accurate? A) It would
Maru [420]
<h2>Answer: B) It would be best to use a concave mirror, with the object to be ignited positioned halfway between the mirror and its center of curvature. </h2>

Explanation:

To start a fire it is more optimal to use a concave mirror than a plane mirror. This is because the concave mirror allows concentrating sunlight at a point (the focal point) on an object that acts as fuel and ignite the fire there.

For this it is necessary the object to be  positioned between the center of curvature of the mirror and the mirror (its focus). Thus the rays of the Sun, when converging on the focus, will heat the object and make it burn.

Hence, the correct option is B.
