What force holds the lattice structure in place in a crystal?

At the end it depends on the type of crystal.

There are ionic crystals (like sodium chloride), covalent cristals (like diamond) and metallic crystals (like aluminum).

The context of the question may tell you if it is referred to one type of crystal or other.

I gues it may be about salt compounds, which are ionic crystals. In this case, the force that holds the lattice structure in place in a crystal is ionic (electrical attraction between cations and anions).

In the other two cases, the force is covalent bond in one case and metallic bond in the other case.

You can eliminate the answer A because the moon is super cold
For answer B, atmosphere is contained of gasses, not just oxygen alone
Definitely not C
The answer is D because the moon's gravity isn't strong enough to hold the gasses, as a result, only a small amount of gasses has an attraction to it ( the moon has a little atmosphere though) but not enough to be considered

Starting from zero, an electric current is established in a circuit made of a battery of emf E, a resistor of resistance R and a

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

time constant will decrease and steady state current will decrease on increasing the resistance

Explanation:

As we know that the EMF of cell is E which is used to connected across a resistor and an inductor.

So we will have

$E - iR - L\frac{di}{dt} = 0$

here we know that

$i = \frac{E}{R}(1 - e^{-Rt/L})$

now here we have

$\tau = \frac{L}{R}$

so if we increase the value of resistance of the wire then the time constant will decrease

and hence it will take less time to reach near the steady state value

also the steady state current will be smaller in that case

Aleksandr [31]

Answer: A and B

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiations are examples of electromagnetic waves with increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength in the following order radiowaves - infrared waves - visible lights - ultraviolet rays- x-rays - gamma rays.

They did not require material medium for their propagation.

The statement above shows that EM radiations possesses different wavelengths and frequency.
