Solids always have definite shape and definite volume because their particles are packed together. Liquids have a definite volume but not definite shape, because their particles still kinda tight but able to move around, and gases don’t have a definite shape nor volume, because their particles are crazy and go everywhere
Answer and Explanation:
It's very important to assume that the rate of radioactive decay will remain constant over time to make scientists' lives easier when calculating the ages of fossils, compounds, etc.
If the rate changes, it would be extremely challenging for people to figure out the relative ages of rock strata, fossils, or other substances with radioactive elements in them. This is a fundamental assumption in order to be able to use radioactive dating.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Earth has a magnetic force that is strongest at its core.
II. sulfur (S) and carbon (C)
and
III. fluorine (F) and oxygen (O)
will form covalent bonds, so the answer will be:
e. II and III
Explanation:
To know is what type of bond is formed between atoms we need to look at the electronegativity difference between the atoms.
If the electronegativity difference is less than 0.4 there is a nonpolar covalent bond.
If the electronegativity difference is between 0.4 and 1.8 there is a polar covalent bond. (if is a metal involved we consider the bond to be ionic)
If the electronegativity difference is greater then 1.8 there is an ionic bond.
We have the following cases:
I. lithium (Li) and sulfur (S)
electronegativity difference = 2.5 (S) - 1 (Li) = 1.5 but because there is a metal involved the bond will be ionic
II. sulfur (S) and carbon (C)
electronegativity difference = 2.5 (S) - 2.5 (C) = 0 so the bond will be nonpolar covalent
III. fluorine (F) and oxygen (O)
electronegativity difference = 4 (F) - 3.5 (O) = 0.5 so the bond will be polar covalent bond.
