As you increase in elevation, there is less air above you thus the pressure decreases. As the pressure decreases, air molecules spread out further (i.e. air expands) and the temperature decreases. If the humidity is at 100 percent (because it's snowing), the temperature decreases more slowly with height.
Answer is D - Argon atom
Potassium has atomic number as 19. Hence, number of protons = 19
If the atom is neutral,
number of protons = number of electrons = 19
Hence, the electron configuration of potassium (K) is
1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s¹
Potassium ion is formed by losing an electron. Then the number of electrons = 19 - 1 = 18
Electron configuration of K⁺ is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶.
This is same as the electron configuration of Ar which has 18 electrons.
A.
Particles within a solid only vibrate in place.
The energy built up in the earth could have caused a tectonic plates movement. The movement could have made a tsunami and moved the boat. The impact could have caused the boat to move up to the top of a building.
