Answer:

Most spiral galaxies consist of a flat, rotating disk containing stars, gas and dust, and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge. ... The spiral arms are sites of ongoing star formation and are brighter than the surrounding disc because of the young, hot OB stars that inhabit them.

Answer:

Unlike a regular spiral, a barred spiral contains a bar across its center region, and has two major arms. The Milky Way also contains two significant minor arms, as well as two smaller spurs. One of the spurs, known as the Orion Arm, contains the sun and the solar system.

Which examples are indirect evidence used to study Earth's interior? Check all that apply.
ch4aika [34]

<u>Answer</u>:

Indirect evidence used to study Earth's interior are

  • analysis of several seismographs  
  • location of an earthquake's epicentre  
  • identification of seismic wave direction

<u>Explanation</u>:

The earth is mainly divided into 3 layers. These are the crust, mantle and the core. Further, the interior part of the earth cannot be studied directly and the direct evidence explains the composition of rocks.

The seismic waves help with the understanding of indirect evidence. The seismic waves are the energy that travels through different layers of the earth.It is caused due to  volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides etc. Thus, analysis of several seismographs, identifying the direction the of seismic wave and location of earth’s epicentre helps to study earth's interior.

Helium is located in group 8A but does not have eight valence electrons. Why is it located in 8A, not 2A?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

its outermost shell is completely full making it extremely stable.

Explanation:

It only has two electrons in its outer shell so its valence electron configuration is 1s2. Even though it only has two electrons, it is grouped with elements that have eight valence electrons. Helium is still happy because its outermost shell is completely full making it extremely stable.

What are all of the elements that end with F electrons
jonny [76]

The elements whose electron configurations end with f electrons are in the Lanthanide and Actinide series: those long series at the bottom of the Periodic Table (see image).

The atoms are adding electrons into f orbitals, but the f electrons are not always the last electrons in the electron configuration.

For example, the electron configuration of Eu is [Xe]6s²4f⁷, but that of Gd

is [Xe] 6s²4f⁷5d.

I have blocked off in <em>red</em> all the <em>exceptions</em> like Gd.
