Water can "defy gravity" and climb uphill? True or false. Why or why not

Biology

The answer is actually <u>true</u><u>.</u>

The starting point of all rivers is higher than their end point. However, under the right conditions, small amounts of water can be drawn upwards, against the tug of gravity, through a phenomenon known as "capillary action". For this to occur, however, the water must be confined into a small flow space.

Hope this helps!  If it does, would you mind marking my answer as Brainliest? Thanks :D

The atomic number of argon is 18 and its mass number is 40. Describe the number and type of particles
Paul [167]

Answer:

Argon's atoms have 18 protons, 22 neutrons in its nucleus, orbited by 18 electrons- its atomic mass= P 18 +N 22.

Explanation:

Atoms are the most basic unit of matter that makes up elements. Atoms are composed of electrons orbiting neutrons and protons surrounding a nucleus.

The atomic number is defined as the number of protons in an atom, while the atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons.

The element Argon, Ar is a noble gas, that exists in a gaseous, inert, state at temperature. Its atoms have 18 protons, 22 neutrons in its nucleus, orbited by 18 electrons- its atomic mass= P 18 +N 22.

There are 8 valence electrons in its outer shell, thus:

  • Ar is not very reactive, as it does not require electron sharing in atomic bonding.
  • It shows low conductivity, as there are no free electrons
