“Gibbous” means "humpbacked.” Why is this term appropriate for a moon phase?

Gibbous refers to the moon when it is more than half full but not completely full. This results in half a circle with a smaller arc on the opposite side. This makes a weird shaped “hump” on that side which is what the humpback means.

How do modern scientists describe the makeup of matter?
zavuch27 [327]
Any substance made out of iotas, that has mass and possesses space. Matter ought not be mistaken for mass, as the two are not the same in current material science. Matter is itself a physical substance of which frameworks might be formed, while mass isn't a substance but instead a quantitative property of issue and different substances or frameworks. While there are diverse perspectives on what ought to be viewed as issue, the mass of a substance or framework is the same regardless of any such meaning of issue. Another distinction is that issue has an "inverse" called antimatter, however mass has no inverse—there is no such thing as "hostile to mass" or negative mass. Antimatter has the same (i.e. positive) mass property as its typical issue partner.

Among K, Ca and Ba, which element possess low ionization energy?
deff fn [24]

Among the elements Barium has the lowest Ionization Energy.

<h3>What is Ionization Process ?</h3>

The process by which any neutral atom gets converted into electrically charged by gaining or losing electron is called Ionization Process.

K  is an alkali metal  it has to lose one electron to attain stable electronic configuration of an inert gas

For removing second electron , a stable configuration has to be broken and so will require high amount of energy.

Ca and Ba are alkaline earth metals.

They both have to lose 2 electrons to attain  stable electronic configuration of noble gas.

They have low Iow Ionization Energy as compared to K.

Ca has higher  Ionization Energy as compared to Ba because when we move down the periodic table , The ionization energy decreases.

Hence , Among the elements Barium has the lowest Ionization Energy.
