Answer:

c. 19

Explanation:

Potassium is a chemical element of the periodic table whose chemical symbol is K, whose atomic number is 19. It is an alkaline metal of white-silver color, which abounds in nature in the elements related to salt water and other minerals. It oxidizes rapidly in air, is very reactive, especially in water, and chemically resembles sodium. It is an essential chemical element.

The K having an atomic number of 19 means that it has 19 protons and in normal conditions for a neutral atom it will have 19 electrons, and being one step away from argon gas makes it extremely unstable.

How are Kelvin scale and celcius scale similar <br>​
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The Kelvin scale is related to the Celsius scale. The difference between the freezing and boiling points of water is 100 degrees in each, so that the kelvin has the same magnitude as the degree Celsius.

Explanation:

Celsius is, or relates to, the Celsius temperature scale (previously known as the centigrade scale). The degree Celsius (symbol: °C) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale as well as serve as a unit increment to indicate a temperature interval(a difference between two temperatures or an uncertainty). “Celsius” is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701-1744), who developed a similar temperature scale two years before his death.

K = °C + 273.15

°C = K − 273.15

Until 1954, 0 °C on the Celsius scale was defined as the melting point of ice and 100 °C was defined as the boiling point of water under a pressure of one standard atmosphere; this close equivalence is taught in schools today. However, the unit “degree Celsius” and the Celsius scale are currently, by international agreement, defined by two different points: absolute zero, and the triple point of specially prepared water. This definition also precisely relates the Celsius scale to the Kelvin scale, which is the SI base unit of temperature (symbol: K). Absolute zero—the temperature at which nothing could be colder and no heat energy remains in a substance—is defined as being precisely 0 K and −273.15 °C. The triple point of water is defined as being precisely 273.16 K and 0.01 °C.

How do tectonic plates move at convergent subduction boundaries? Insert a drawing with the arrows that show the movement
boyakko [2]

Answer:

If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. Usually, one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, a process known as subduction. ... As the sinking plate moves deeper into the mantle, fluids are released from the rock causing the overlying mantle to partially melt.
