Gee. I'll have to guess at what's "commonly thought".
One thing is the scale. Nobody has an accurate picture of the scale in
his head, because we never see a true-scale drawing. THAT's because
it's almost impossible to draw one on paper.
Example:
Shrink the solar system and everything in it so that the Sun
is the size of a quarter (the 25¢ coin).
Then:
-- The Earth is in orbit around the sun, 8.6 feet from it.
That's close enough that you might think you could find the
shrunken Earth. Unfortunately, it's only 0.009 inch in diameter.
-- The shrunken Jupiter is a 'huge' gas giant almost 0.1 inch in diameter.
It's orbiting the sun, about 45 feet away from it.
-- The shrunken Uranus is another gas giant, about 0.035 inch in diameter.
It's orbiting the sun, about 165 feet away from it.
-- The nearest star outside of the solar system is 441 MILES away !
On the same shrunken scale !
And there's NOTHING between here and there !
I think that's the biggest point to make about the REAL solar system ...
its utter emptiness. With the sun reduced to something you can hold
in your hand, the planets are the size of grains of sand, with hundreds
of feet of nothingness between them.
Same for its mass: The solar system is approximately nothing but a star.
That's it. A star, with some dust and some gas around it, and here and there
in the neighborhood a microscopic pebble or a chip of mineral. But mostly
it's nothing but a star ... if you went around and gathered up all that other
rubbish in the same bag and called it a part of the same solar system, the
sun would still have more than 99% of the total mass, and the bag would
hold less than 1% of it.
Book ... It's getting late, Hillary's fading, and that's all I can think of.
I hope this much is some help.
Iron bending is just a physical change because the iron has only changed shape but there is no new substance. Iron rusting is a chemical change because there is a new substance which is rust.
Answer:
B) 82 protons
Explanation:
The number of protons for an element never change. 82 Is the atomic number for Pb which is how many protons it has. An isotope means it has more neutrons.
Answer:
B. Cu + 4HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2H2O + 2NO2
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we should understand oxidizing agents as those substances able to increase the oxidation state of another substance, therefore, in B. reaction we notice that copper oxidation state at the beginning is zero (no bonds are formed) and once it reacts with nitric acid, its oxidation states raises to +2 in copper (II) nitrate, thus, in B. Cu + 4HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2H2O + 2NO2 nitritc acid is acting as the oxidizing agent.
Moreover, in the other reactions, copper (A.), sodium (C. and D.) remain with the same initial oxidation state, +2 and +1 respectively.
Regards.
Answer:
TRUE.
Explanation:
Mass Number is the sum of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom. Isotopy is a phenonmenon that occurs when atoms of same elements have different mass number (Number of neutrons).
2H isotope has 1 proton and 1 neutron.
3H isotope has 1 proton and 2 neutrons.
This meeans 2H isotope has fewer neutrons when compared to the 3H isotope. The correct option is TRUE.
