The correct answer is:

electronegativity

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a model of an atom's strength to attract the shared electrons of a covalent bond to itself. If atoms bonded together have the same electronegativity, the allotted electrons will be moderately shared. If the electrons of a bond are higher attracted to one of the atoms (because it is more electronegative), the electrons will be unevenly shared. If the difference in electronegativity is large enough, the electrons will not be allowed at all; the more electronegative atom will "take" them happening in two ions and an ionic bond.

Which statement about Earth's rotation and its revolution is correct?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

It takes Earth longer to revolve around the sun than to rotate on its axis.

The vocabulary can be tricky in this question. It is important to remember that the term revolution refers to something moving around a fixed point. In this case, the earth is the object revolving around sun which is the fixed point in the frame of reference.

Now, the earth rotates at a constant speed around its axis. This is what causes the day/night cycle. The earth itself is spinning, therefore we use the term rotate.
