Chemistry

Morgarella [4.7K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C. It blocked out sunlight

Explanation:

The asteroid impact 65 million years ago was devastating for lot of the animals and plants, resulting in a mass extinction, most noticeably of the dinosaurs. The impact itself killed a lot of flora and fauna, but it was the effect afterward that was crucial. From this impact, there was so much debris propelled into the atmosphere that the sunlight got blocked. Once this happened, most of the plants died out as they were not able to perform photosynthesis. Because the plants were dying out, the herbivores were left without food, so soon they followed, and because the herbivores died out, the predators died out to because they were left without food. The winners turned out to be the small and not specialized plants and animals.

Do all colors of light travel at the same speed
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

No because some lights we cannot see because they move to slow or they move to fast for our eye to see. There is just a small little gap compared to what light rays we can actually see. In this picture you can see what I mean.

Consider these elements: N, Mg, O, F, Al. a. Write the electron configuration for each element. b. Arrange the elements in order
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

N- 1s2 2s2 2p3

Mg- 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2

O- 1s2 2s2 2p4

F- 1s2 2s2 2p5

Al-1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1

Explanation:

Order of decreasing atomic radius

Mg,Al, N,O,F

Order of increasing ionization energy

Mg,Al, N,O,F

Reason:

Atomic radius decreases with increase in nonmetallic character. Looking at the electronic configurations, as effective nuclear charge increases, the atom becomes smaller and the attractive force between the nucleus and the outermost electrons increases. Hence, the radius of the atom decreases and ionization energy increases. Note that the addition of more orbital electrons implies addition of more nuclear charge since the both must exactly balance for the atom to remain electrically neutral. The more the electrons in the outermost shell, the higher the first ionization energy.

Why are baking directions on cake mix boxes different for higher altitudes
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Explanation:First, the dry air at high elevations tends to make things dry out quickly. Second, the boiling point of water is lower at altitude, which means that moisture will tend to bake out of your cakes more quickly. ... In the reduced air pressure of high altitudes, your leavening ingredients will act more powerfully.

What would happen to a diver who does no exhale while surfacing from a 30 m dive?
sertanlavr [38]
Their lungs would try to expand to about 4 timed the normal volume which would force air into the various body tissues. this can cause a lung expansion injury and it could case air embolism. Air embolism is when air bubbles get trapped in blood vessels. This can lead to a blockage which will could be fatal.
