This triangular body of water is called a delta. It is shaped like the Greek letter delta and was coined by Herodotus, the father of history who lived from 484 to 425 BC by seeing the deltoid shape at the mouth of the Nile.

Deltas occur throughout the world except at the poles. They all have three things in common, namely:

1. The presence of a large catchment basin. The top 30 river deltas all have catchment basins.

2. They all are at the mouth of large river systems that carry large quantities of clastic sediments (soils or portions of rocks that have been moved by water from where they formed)

3. They are not found near geologically active coastlines. They take a long time to develop so they are very rarely situated on tectonically active coast.

Lelu [443]

The copper has a normal atomic mass of 63.546

it's atomic number is 29

it's atomic mass is 63 disregarding other mass in atom
Atomic mass - atomic number = neutron mass

63 - 29 = 34

Hope this helps

If you have one mole of a gas at 3.00 atm in a 3.0 L container what is the temperature of the gas?

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

n = 3.0 moles

V = 60.0 L

T = 400 K

From PV = nRT, you can find P

P = nRT/V = (3.0 mol)(0.0821 L-atm/K-mol)(400 K)/60.0L

P = 1.642 atm = 1.6 atm (to 2 significant figures)

What is the fraction of the hydrogen atom's volume that is occupied by the nucleus? the bohr radius is 0.529×10−10m?

Arturiano [62]

Volume of a sphere = 4/3 x pi x r^3

When put a fraction of volume constant 4/3 x pi cancels out.

So only cube of radii remains.

Radius of proton = 10^-15 m (Fact; remember it)

Radius of total Hydrogen atom = 0.529 × 10^−10 m

Fraction of Volumes : R'^3/R^3 = (R/R)^3

Fraction = ((10^-15)/(0.529 × 10^−10m.))^3= (1/52900)^3 =

6.755 x 10^-15

RSB [31]

Answer:

B. A covalent bond has a lower potential energy than the two separate atoms.

Explanation:

Identify the correct statement.

A. It is not possible for two atoms to share more than two electrons. FALSE. Atoms also can share 4 electrons (double bond) or 6 electrons (triple bond).

B. A covalent bond has a lower potential energy than the two separate atoms. TRUE.

C. Single bonds are shorter than double bonds. FALSE. Single bonds are longer than double bonds.

D. A covalent bond is formed through the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. FALSE. In covalent bonds, electrons are shared, not transferred from one atom to another.

E. A pair of electrons involved in a covalent bond are sometimes referred to as lone pairs. FALSE. Lone pairs are those that do not participate in a bond.
