Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a glass of water is held in the refrigerator then kinetic energy of water molecules starts to decrease as there is less temperature in the freezer.

As a result, the water starts to convert into ice because kinetic energy of water molecules converts into potential energy.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, the property ice has a lower freezing point than liquid water best explains why ice forms on its surface.

Which element would have the lowest electronegativity? (1 point)
irinina [24]

The element that will have the lowest electronegativity is an element with a small number of valence electrons and a large atomic radius.

Electronegativity of an element is the ability or power of that element in a molecule to attract electrons to its Valence electrons.  The following are the properties of electronegativity:

  • It increases across a period from left to right of the periodic table,
  • It decreases down the periodic table groups
  • Group 1 elements are the least (lowest) electronegative elements. These elements have the lowest valence electrons with a large atomic radius.
  • Group 7 elements are the most electronegative elements.

Atomic radius of elements increase down a group because of a progressive increase in the number of shells occupied by electrons which increases the size. But it decreases across a period because electrons are accommodated within the same shell leading to greater attraction by the protons in the nucleus.

The absorbance of a garbanzo bean solution that had been diluted by a factor of three was 0.528. what was the concentration of t
Serjik [45]
The Beer-Lambert law states that A = E*c*l where A is absorbance, E is the molar absorbance coeffecient, c is concentration and l is path length. Therefore the absorbance is directly proportional to concentration, and by increasing the concentration by a factor of 3, absorbance will increase by a factor of 3 giving   A = 1.584

What type of rock commonly often contains gas bubbles and the mineral(s) hornblende, muscovite, olivine, lucite, and/or plagiocl
olga_2 [115]

Scoria

Explanation:

Scoria is a  rock that is commonly made up of gas bubbles and minerals such as hornblende, muscovite, olivine, lucite and or plagioclase.

Scoria is an extrusive igneous rock with a lot of cavities and vesicles indicating gas bubbles.

  • Scoria is product of basaltic magma.
  • It has nearly the same composition as basalt since it originates from it.
  • They silica deficient and very fine grained with holes in them.
  • The holes shows channels by which trapped gases are forcefully ejected out.
  • They are usually found associated with cindercone volcanoes.

Watch the animation depicting Rutherford’s experiment and choose which of the following conclusions are correct.a. The atom cont
Lilit [14]

Answer:

a, b, c, d

Explanation:

Rutherford’ atomic model is based on the gold foil experiment. In this experiment, beam of alpha rays was bombarded on thin gold foil. He observed that:

Most of the alpha particles passed through thin foil without any deflection.

Few alpha particles deflected by an angle of 90o.

Based on observation, Rutherford concluded that majority of the space inside the atom is empty.

He explained defection of few alpha particles by assuming that most of the mass is concentrated at the nucleus and positively charged.  

Therefore, among given, the correct statements are:

The atom contains a positively charged nucleus.

Positive charge is condensed in one location within the atom.

The majority of the space inside the atom is empty space

The mass of an atom is concentrated at the nucleus

Therefore, the correct options are:

a, b, c, d
