Describe the green house effect

Chemistry
1 answer:
eimsori [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without this atmosphere. Radiatively active gases in a planet's atmosphere radiate energy in all directions.

Select the atoms or ions drawn with valid Lewis dot structures. A) A carbon has a dot on top, right, bottom and to the left.a ni
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

B, C

Explanation:

The atoms or ions with the valid Lewis dot structures are B and C.

In A;

The Lewis structure of the carbon is correct. Each of the four dots represent the four valence electrons.

The  nitrogen with one dot on top, left and to the bottom and has a charge of minus 3 is wrong. For it to have a charge of -3 it must have 8 lewis dots ( two on the top, right, bottom and to the left)

The nitrogen with four dots (on top, right, bottom and to the left) is wrong.

In B;

An oxygen has two dots on top and bottom and one dot to the left and to the right. This is correct , the 6 dots represent the valence electrons of oxygen.

In C;

A carbon has two dots on top, right, bottom and to the left and a charge of plus four. This is correct because the charge indicates that it has gained four extra electrons so its valence electrons is now 8.

In D;

An oxygen has two dots on top, left and to the bottom and a charge of minus 2. This is wrong because the lewis dots are incomplete. Two dots are missing.

Compare and contrast the sun's rotation to that of the Earth​
zimovet [89]

The Sun, like most other astronomical objects (planets, asteroids, galaxies, etc.), rotates on its axis. Unlike Earth and other solid objects, the entire Sun doesn't rotate at the same rate. ... The Sun's rotation rate decreases with increasing latitude, so that its rotation rate is slowest near its poles.

Pre-Lab Assignment
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

From left to right, the oxides across period 3;

i) Period 3 oxides all appear white in colour. They are all crystalline solids and their melting points decrease from left to right.

ii) The volatility of period 3 oxides increases from left to right across the periodic table

iii) The metallic oxides on the right hand side adopt giant ionic structures. Silicon oxide which is in the middle of the period forms a giant covalent structure. Oxides of other elements towards the right hand side form molecular oxide structures.

iv) The acidity of oxides of period 3 increases from left to right. Metals on the left hand side form basic oxides while non-metals on the right hand side form acidic oxides. The oxide of aluminium in the middle is amphoteric.

v) The oxides of period 3 elements do not conduct electricity. However, the metallic oxides on the lefthand side conduct electricity in molten state. The non-metallic oxides on the right hand side are molecular hence they do not conduct electricity under any circumstance.
