Low clouds
Stratus clouds are uniform grayish clouds that often cover the sky. Usually no precipitation falls from stratus clouds, but they may drizzle. When a thick fog “lifts,” the resulting clouds are low stratus. Nimbostratus clouds form a dark gray, “wet” looking cloudy layer associated with continuously falling rain or snow. They often produce light to moderate precipitation.
Middle clouds
Clouds with the prefix “alto” are middle-level clouds that have bases at 6,500 to 23,000 feet up. Altocumulus clouds are made of water droplets and appear as gray, puffy masses, sometimes rolled out in parallel waves or bands. These clouds on a warm, humid summer morning often mean thunderstorms by late afternoon. Altostratus clouds, gray or blue-gray, are made up of ice crystals and water droplets. They usually cover the sky. In thinner areas of them, the sun may be dimly visible as a round disk. Altostratus clouds often form ahead of storms that produce continuous precipitation.
High clouds
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds blown by high winds into long streamers. They are considered “high clouds,” forming at more than 20,000 feet. They usually move across the sky from west to east and generally mean fair to pleasant weather. Cirrostratus, thin, sheetlike clouds that often cover the sky, are so thin the sun and moon can be seen through them. Cirrocumulus clouds appear as small, rounded white puffs. Small ripples in the cirrocumulus sometimes resemble the scales of a fish, creating what is sometimes called a “mackerel sky.”
Vertical clouds
Cumulus clouds are puffy and can look like floating cotton. The base of each is often flat and may be only 330 feet above ground. The top has rounded towers. When the top resembles a cauliflower head, it is called “cumulus congestus.” These grow upward and if they continue to grow vertically can develop into a giant cumulonimbus, a thunderstorm cloud, with dark bases no more than 1,000 feet above ground and extending to more than 39,000 feet. Tremendous energy is released by condensation of water vapor in a cumulonimbus. Lightning, thunder and violent tornadoes are associated with them.
Answer:
A) Separating funnel method
B) Simple Distillation
C) Evaporation
D) Sublimation
E) It is based on the principle of separation whereby even though two substances are dissolved in the same solvent, their respective solubilities could be different. Thus, the component that has more solubility will rise fastest and will therefore get separated from the mixture.
Explanation:
A)
B) Kerosene and petrol are both miscible liquids and the difference in their boiling point temperature is not more than 25°C. Thus, we make use of Simple distillation.
C) Can be separated by evaporation where the water is boiled and it evaporates and leaves the salt behind
D) To separate camphor from salt, we use sublimation so the camphor can change directly from solid to the gas state without passing through the liquid state.
E) Chromatography is used to separate components of a mixture.
It is based on the principle of separation whereby even though two substances are dissolved in the same solvent, their respective solubilities could be different. Thus, the component that has more solubility will rise fastest and will therefore get separated from the mixture.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Chlorine is in group 7 or (VII) in Roman numerals, which means it has 7 balance electrons. It only needs one electron to become stable, hence it is next to the noble gases
Answer:
s an example, the ground state configuration of the sodium atom is 1s22s22p63s1, as deduced from the Aufbau principle (see below). The first excited state is obtained by promoting a 3s electron to the 3p orbital, to obtain the 1s22s22p63p1 configuration, abbreviated as the 3p level.
