What is first and second element of the periodic table?
stira [4]
The elements on the periodic table are listed in increasing atomic number. 

Hydrogen is the first element, and has an A.N. of 1. Also, its very interesting how it doesn't need 8 valence electrons to be stable. 

The second element is Helium, which has an A.N (atomic number) of two.

Levart [38]

B) convection

Explanation:

Once the sun's energy reaches the earth's atmosphere by radiation, it is circulated within the atmosphere and oceans through convection.

The energy of the sun on earth is moved between the ocean and the atmosphere by air around us.

  • Heat transfer in fluids is by convection.
  • It involves the actual motion of the particles of medium from one place to another due to differences in temperature and density.
  • Air close to the surface of the ocean is less dense and hot due to high temperature.
  • The air rises and it is replaced by colder air masses.
  • This exchange leads to the development of convective cells.
  • This moves the energy of the sun between the atmosphere and the ocean surface.

The average distance between molecules always increases during which of the following phase changes?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

B. liquid to gas

Explanation:

Matter exists in 3 different states:

- Solid: in solids, particles in the substance are tightly bond to each other through strong intermolecular forces. Therefore, they can only vibrate around their fixed position, but they cannot move freely: as a result, the distance between the particles is the smallest among the 3 states of matter.

- Liquid: in a liquid, particles are able to slide past each other, however there are still intermolecular forces keeping them not too far from each other. As a result, in liquids, particles are on average more distance from each other compared to solids.

- Gas: in a gas, particles are completely free to move, as the intermolecular forces between them are negligible. As a result, in gases, the distance between molecules is the greatest, compared with solids and liquids.

Therefore, the phase changes in which the average distance between molecules increases is:

B. liquid to gas

What was the significance of Thompson’s Plum Pudding model of the atom?
Pani-rosa [81]

The Plum Pudding Model is a model of atomic structure proposed by J.J. Thomson in the late 19th century. Thomson had discovered that atoms are composite objects, made of pieces with positive and negative charge, and that the negatively charged electrons within the atom were very small compared to the entire atom.
