Answer:
Physical weathering is caused by purely mechanical changes to the rock, while chemical weathering is caused by chemical reactions.
Explanation:
Chemical weathering happens when the chemicals get diluted and dissolved in water and seep and percolate down the rock surfaces.
Physical weathering happens when rocks are fragmented into minor fragments while ensuring no alterations in their chemical makeup. The main causes behind physical weathering include spontaneous fluctuations in temperature like too high or too low heat or cold
Answer:
Transition Element
Explanation:
Transition elements are defined as those elements which can form at least one stable ion and has partially filled d-orbitals. They are also characterized by forming complex compounds and having different oxidation states for a single metal element.
Transition metals are present between the metals and the non metals in the periodic table occupying groups from 3 to 12. There general electronic configuration is as follow,
(n-1)d
¹⁻¹⁰ns
¹⁻²
The general configuration shows that for a given metal, the d sublevel will be in lower energy level as compared to corresponding s sublevel. For example,
Scandium is present in fourth period hence, its s sublevel is present in 4rth energy level so its d sublevel will be present in 3rd energy level respectively.
Hence, we can conclude that for transition metals the electron are present in highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby d sublevel

Answer:
0.001 M OH-
Explanation:
[OH-] = 10^-pOH, so
pOH + pH = 14 and 14 - pH = pOH
14 - 11 = 3
[OH⁻] = 10⁻³ ; [OH-] = 0.001 M OH-
Answer:
Properties of metals, worksheet 6.1
Explanation:
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>
a. 3 molecules 3 carbon
b. 6 molecules 18 carbon
c. 6 molecules 18 carbon
d. 5 molecules 15 carbon
e. 3 molecules 15 carbon
f. 3 molecules 15 carbon
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- In the Calvin cycle, carbon atoms from CO2 are ncorporated into organic molecules and then used to build three-carbon sugars, a process that is fueled by, and dependent on, ATP and NADPH from the light reactions.
- Calvin cycle take place in the stroma. Reactions of Calvin cycle are divided into three main stages: carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration of the starting molecule.
- During carbon fixation, a CO2 molecule combines with a five carbon acceptor molecule ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate. The result is a six carbon compound that splits to two three carbon compound, 3-PGA.
- During reduction; ATP and NADPH are used to convert the 3-PGA molecules into molecules of a three-carbon sugar, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.
- Finally during regeneration, some G3P molecules are used to make glucose while others are recycled to regenerate RuBP acceptor.
