Answer:

Stratigraphy and Biostratigraphy

Explanation:

Stratigraphy is a science, a branch of geology, which studies the composition, structure and succession of stratified rocks in order to reconstruct the physical history of planet Earth.  The study of rock strata provides information on various formation environments and the ancient physical landscapes of the earth. With stratigraphy it is possible to determine the relative age of the rock and strata. In addition, stratigraphy is also able to provide data on the climate of our planet for thousands or even millions of years and also enables us to determine the time when a particular animal or plant organism lived when one of these is found in a particular rock stratum.

Biostratigraphy is a branch of stratigraphy. In biostratigraphy the relative age of rock and strata is defined by the type or species of fossils that are found in this layer. For example, Rincosaurs are found in the upper Triassic. If a paleontologist finds a fossil of Rincosaurus, this layer is from the Triassic.

What causes the difference in bond angles in carbon dioxide and water?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer is: C) the fact that the number of lone pairs of electrons on the central atom is greater in the case of water.

Carbon(IV) oxide is nonpolar because CO₂ is linear molecule and the oxygen atoms are symmetrical (bond angles 180°).

Water is polar because of the bent shape of the molecule.

Oxygen atom in water molecule has sp3 hybridization. The bond angle between the two hydrogen atoms is approximately 104.45°.

Oxygen atom has atomic number 8, it means it has eight protons and eight electrons, so atom has neutral charge. Oxygen is a nonmetal.

Electron configuration of oxygen atom: ₈O 1s² 2s² 2p⁴.

Oxygen atom has six valence electrons , two lone pairs and two electrons that form two sigma bonds with hydrogen atoms.

Carbon is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6, which means it has 6 protons and six electrons. Four valence electrons are in 2s and 2p orbitals.  

Electron configuration of carbon atom: ₆C 1s² 2s² 2p².  

In carbon dioxide, carban has sp hybridization with no lone pairs.

as the elements period 3 are considered in order of increasing atomic number, the number of principal energy levels in each succ
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

stay the same.

Explanation:  Period 3 consists of the full 1s, 2s, and 2p electron orbitals, plus the 3s and 3p valence orbitals, which are filled with a total of 8 more electrons as we move from left (Na) to the far right (Ar):

Na:  1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

Ar:    s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

As we move from left to right, and ignoring the already-filled 1s, 2s, and 2p orbitals, the period three starting and ending elements have the following:

Na: 3s1

Ar: 3s2, 3p6

All the new electrons electrons filled the third energy level (3s and 3p).  So the energy level does not change, just the orbitals.

Suppose 50.0g of silver nitrate is reacted with 50g of hydrochloric acid producing silver chloride and a mixture of other produc
docker41 [41]

Answer:

53.6 grams of silver chloride was produced.

Explanation:

AgNO_3+HCl+\rightarrow AgCl+HNO_3

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

Mass of silver nitrate = 50.0 g

Mass of hydrogen chloride = 50.0 g

Mass of silver chloride = x

Mass of  nitric acid = 46.4 g

Mass of silver nitrate + Mass of hydrogen chloride =

                             Mass of silver chloride + Mass of  nitric acid

[te]50.0 g+50.0 g=x+46.4 g[/tex]

x=50.0 g+50.0 g - 46.4 g = 53.6 g

53.6 grams of silver chloride was produced.
