Answer;

A. Carbon can form four strong covalent bonds.


Explanation;

Carbon can form up to 4 covalent bonds, and it can form reasonably strong bonds with nitrogen, oxygen, and other heteroatoms.

Carbon also has an almost unique ability to catenate: to form long chains with

C − C linkages, and along the chain there can be regions of different reactivity (by the presence of functional groups).

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.
kirill [66]

Answer:

Cause: Earth’s magnetosphere traps radioactive  solar wind particles in bands around Earth → Space travel through the Van Allen  belts is dangerous.

Cause: Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field → Effect: Solar wind deflects toward the poles.

Cause: Solar wind particles interact with Earth’s  upper atmosphere → Effect: An aurora is created

Explanation:

I have been able to drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.

When there is a trapping of radioactive solar wind particles in bands by the earth's magnetosphere, it becomes dangerous to travel in space through the Van Allen. Cosmic rays and solar particle add up to the additional hazards that it poses. A Van Allen radiation belt is known to be a zone  where energetic charged particles are found. Most of the energetic charged particles originate from the solar wind.  The solar wind  are captured by and held around a planet by that planet's magnetic field.

When the solar wind interacts with the earth's atmosphere, there is a collision of atoms of oxygen and nitrogen from the earth's atmosphere. The energy that is formed is a colorful glowing halo which is known as an aurora.
