When warm air rises and cool air sinks towards earth surface. what is this known as <u>convection currents.</u>

Explanation:

Convection currents not only occurs in the air but also in other fluids like water. In the air, they are responsible for the blowing of winds of the atmosphere . In the oceans, they are responsible for ocean currents. Convection currents also occur in the mantle and are responsible for tectonic plate movements.

Why do engineers use metals in making<br> electrical wires
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Why is copper used for most electrical wiring? All metals have some amount of resistivity to electrical currents, which is why they require a power source to push the current through. The lower the level of resistivity, the more electrical conductivity a metal has

28. Describe the molecular geometry and hybridization of the N, P, or S atoms in each of the following compounds. (a) H3PO4, pho
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The molecular geometry of an atom is connected to the number of electron pairs that surround it(whether lone pairs or bonding pairs) as well as its hybridization state. We shall now examine the N, P, or S atoms in each of the following compounds.

a)

In H3PO4, P has a tetrahedral molecular geometry and is sp3 hybridized.

b) In NH4NO3

N is sp3 hybridized in NH4^+ and sp2 hybridized in NO3^-. Also, N is tetrahedral in NH4^+ but trigonal planar in NO3^-.

c) In S2Cl2, we expect a tetrahedral geometry but as a result of the presence of two lone pairs on each sulphur atom, the molecular geometry is bent. The sulphur is sp3 hybridized.

d) In K4[O3POPO3], each phosphorus atom is in a tetrahedral molecular geometry and is sp3 hybridized.
