Answer:

The Plate Tectonic theory

Explanation:

According to the theory of plate tectonics, the earth's lithosphere is comprised of numerous plates which are commonly known as tectonic plates and are mainly of two types, the continental and oceanic crust.

These plates move over a relatively less dense layer of asthenosphere where the rocks flow in response to deformation. This movement of plates is due to the formation of convection current in the mantle and this currents are formed because of the heat supplied from the interior of the earth.

This is the main driving force for the lithospheric plates to move over the layer of asthenosphere.

For the 52nd electron must pair with one of the<br> electrons in the 5p orbital.
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete, however, the element that has 52 electrons only is Tellurium (Te) and when the electronic configuration of elements with more than 52 electrons are written, the 52nd electron is indicated/paired the same way the 52nd electron of Te is indicated/paired. Hence, while writing the electronic configuration of Te, it is written as

[Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p⁴ where [Kr] is the electronic configuration of krypton. Based on this, we can deduce that the 52nd electron will be in the first orbital of the P subshell (as attached in the picture). This is because when indicating the electrons in the subshell, one electron will be spread across each orbital and if any electron is still remaining, it will be added starting from to the first orbital of the subshell, however no two electrons in an orbital in a subshell can have the same spin and hence must face opposite direction based on pauli's exclusion principle (as seen in attached); thus for the 5p-orbital of elements with 52 or more electrons, when one electron each is represented in each box (3 boxes in total) in the 5p-orbital, the remaining electron is paired with the the first electron in the first box of the 5p-orbital

Which of the following is an important difference between climate and weather?
ANEK [815]

A

Explanation:

Weather can be defined as the day-to-day changes in the atmospheric parameters like temperatures, humidity,  rainfall, and pressure. When these weather changes are observed for approximately over 30 years, the climate of the regions can be determined by understanding the patterns.

Which of the following affects cell potential?
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

the standard cell potential value

Explanation:

For every cell, we can calculate its standard electrode potential from the table of standard electrode potentials listed in many textbooks.

However, from Nernst's equation;

Ecell= E°cell - 0.0592/n log Q

Hence the standard cell potential (E°cell) affects the value of the calculated cell potential Ecell from Nernst's equation as stated above.

True of false metals like copper are sometimes used to fill cavities in teeth
ElenaW [278]
I'd say false because copper is what they used to drink out of in the middle ages, and it caused them to get very sick, so I doubt they would use copper in your mouth.
