In which position are the earth, moon, and sun during a new moon?
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

A. Moon is between the Sun and Earth

Explanation:

The new moon stage is the faze in which we can not see the Moon from Earth. In this stage, the Moon is lacking from the sky, or rather we can not see it because it is totally dark from the side that is facing the Earth. The reason for this is that the Moon is located between the Sun and the Earth. The Sun is making half of the Moon bright as it always does, but in this stage it is the half of the Moon that is facing the Sun, while the other half that is facing the Earth is totally dark as it doesn't receive any sunlight at that time.

What is the relationship between ionic bonds and cleavage
4vir4ik [10]
The relationship between ionic bonds and cleavage is "as the ionic bond strength increases, cleavage will be more difficult". 
There are ionic bonds between the minerals that held them together. Ionic bonds are the consequence of electrostatic fascination and electron exchange amongst positive and negative particles (cations and anions). Ionic bonding infers the development of requested crystalline solids and the cleavage of those solids will rely upon the quality of this bonding.
