Biology

Scrat [10]4 years ago

The alkali metals in group l of the periodic table all have a single electron in the outermost shell. These metals form covalent bonds with for example the halogens, which have 7 electrons in their outer shell.
When the alkali metal halide, such as KCl is dissolved in water, it dissociates into ions. The K atom loses the single electron, and therefore has a positive charge. In turn, the chloride atom gains the electron and becomes the negatively charged chloride ion.

9. Because the sun heats sections of the Earth more or less, and hot
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

This shows the interaction between the earth and sun.

Explanation:

  • There is a variation in the amount of heat that reaches the different latitudes as the interaction between the sun and earth which firms different angles of incidence on the surface.  
  • The rays of the sun are more concentrated in mid latitudes that is the tropics and are slanting towards the poles this due the tilt in axis of earth.  
  • This variation lads the warm air to rise and reach the poles and similar the cold polar air reaches the tropics and develops a cycle of convective cells.  This leads to a latitudinal balance in temperatures.
