The Earth's moon is unusually large. Two popular theories of the moon's origin include the "sister world" hypothesis, which stat

es that the moon formed from the same materials as the Earth, near enough to the Earth that they fell into orbit around each other. A second theory is the "capture" hypothesis, in which the moon formed elsewhere in the Solar system, and the Earth's gravity pulled it into its orbit. Studies of what the moon is made of indicate that some of its materials had to come from the Earth or from the same area of the Solar system where the Earth had formed. At the same time, the moon does not contain much of the material that makes up the Earth's core, so the moon could not have formed from the same materials as the Earth. How do the two facts above affect the described theories of the moon's origin? A. They show that scientists will never agree on where the moon came from. B. They show that more experiments on moon formation need to be done. C. They show that no theory accounts for the existence of the moon. D. They show that neither theory is complete and entirely correct.

Answer: D. They show that neither theory is complete and entirely correct.

Explanation:

Theory is the set of rules and principles that describe and explain a particular phenomenon (the existence of the moon in this case) and is subject to changes as new evidence emerges that gives meaning to it.

In this sense, there are many theories about the Earth's moon formation and two of the "accepted" theories are described before the question. In addition, both theories explain in a certain way the reason why the Moon is predominantly composed of elements similar to those found on Earth.

However, both theories seem to be incomplete when trying to explain our Moon's origin.

Which of the following sequences describe how a four stoke engine cycle powers the engine
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

A four cycle engine works with 4 basic steps to a successful rotation of the crankshaft: the intake, compression, power and exhaust stroke. Each engine cylinder has four openings for the intake, exhaust, spark plug and fuel injection. ... The compression makes the air-fuel combination volatile for easier ignition.

How do the chemical properties of the halegons compare to those of the noble gases
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The halogens are extremely reactive, whilst the noble gases are mainly inert.

Only some noble gases tend to form compounds, such as xenon and krypton. However, some like helium, almost have no compounds at all. Noble gases also have octet rule shells, which causes the little reactivity associated with them. To form bonds with noble gases, a lot of energy is required to form those bonds. Halogens, on the other hand, are extremely reactive. Compounds like chlorine and fluorine must be stored carefully, as they will oxidise anything that they can find, just to get one extra electron to get an octet configuration.


Hope this helps :)

Which chemical element represents the most abundant “atoms of an element” found in air?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

The order of elements by volume-fraction (which is approximately molecular mole-fraction) in the atmosphere is nitrogen (78.1%), oxygen (20.9%), argon (0.96%), followed by (in uncertain order) carbon and hydrogen because water vapor and carbon dioxide, which represent most of these two elements in the air, are variable.

I copied and pasted but I hope this information is helpful :)
