Is the continental crust less dense or more dense ?

It is less dense than the material of the Earth's mantle and thus "floats" on top of it. Continental crust is also less dense than oceanic crust, though it is considerably thicker; mostly 35 to 40 km versus the average oceanic thickness of around 7-10 km.

I looked this up but hope it helps!

At which of the following temperatures does all molecular motion stop

Kamila [148]

All molecular motion stop at 0 k wich is zero kelvin. At absolute 0 it stops. The temperature of 0 entropy at which all molecular motion stops equals in centigrades to -273.15° C which is the same as 0 in kelvin degrees. Have in mind that t<span>emperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the </span>molecules<span> in a material.</span>

The four major attractive forces between particles are ionic bonds, dipole-dipole attractions, hydrogen bonds, and dispersion fo

natima [27]

Answer with Explanation:

Ionic bond:It is that type of bond which formed between negative and positive ions.

Hydrogen bonding:Hydrogen bonding formed between hydrogen and high electronegative elements.

Dispersion force:It is weakest intermolecular force.It is temporary attractive force.When electrons of two adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms temporary dipoles.

NaCl: In which Na is positive ion and Cl is negative ion.

Therefore, NaCl is ionic.

HF:F is highest electronegativ elements.

HF:Hydrogen bonding

HCl: Hydrogen bonding

$F_2$ :Dispersion
