I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. The Greeks were the first to use the term atom. In 450 BCE, Democritus coined the term átomos which means "uncuttable" or "the smallest indivisible particle of matter".
Answer and Explanation:
Because metallic bonding involves delocalized electrons. It is described as a "<em>sea of electrons</em>", because the electrons are not confined around the nucleus of metal atoms, but they are delocalized: thay can be located in one nucleus and then in another neighbor atom. Thus, the electrons have more freedom to move from one part of the metal to another and electricity is well conducted.
Answer:
contain hereditary information
break down food into energy
Explanation:
Hereditary information is contained in genes and genes are found inside the cell. This implies that the cell contains hereditary information of organisms. This hereditary information is passed on during cell division from parent to daughter cells.
Metabolism occurs in the cells. The cells use oxygen to break down food materials to produce energy.
Answer:
Cu
Explanation:
In the given reaction of the addition of copper to nitric acid,
Cu(s) + 4HNO3(aq) -> Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO2(g) + 2H2O(l)
Cu or copper would be characterized as the reducing agent in this reaction. It is the chemical substance that is losing electrons and being oxidized due to this reduction/loss in this redox reaction as it is the metal that loses electrons by reacting with the non-metals.
Answer:The sun
Explanation:
Coal and crude oil are made from the remains of plants and animals that died long ago. The primary energy source in an ecosystem is the sun. Plants take in energy from the sun to produce high energy molecules which are transferred along the food chain to animals. When these plants and animals die, the high energy molecules are now stored in fossil fuels. Recall that the molecules were formed using energy from the sun, therefore, the sun is the energy source from which the high energy molecules contained in fossil fuels are obtained.
