What does the principle of faunal succession state?

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The principle of faunal succession state "Specific groups of organisms have followed one another in a definite sequence through the Earth's history."

Explanation:

Faunal succession basically means is that the fossils of the flora and fauna of different eras can be found in a specific order and never in the same strata. This allows the geologists to determine the time sequence and also to identify the various strata by dating the fossils that are found in each of them. The older version of fossils are found beneath the fossils of modified versions. For example fossils of simple feathers that cannot support flight are found to be succeeded by fossils of more complex feathers.

What can be categorized as a use of plasma in technology

Pachacha [2.7K]

Plasma technology is based on a simple physical principle. Matter changes its state when energy is supplied to it: solids becomes liquid, and liquids becomes gaseous. If even more energy is supplied to a gas, it is ionized and goes into the energy-rich plasma state, the fourth state of matter.ore than 99% of the visible matter in the universe is in the plasma state.

Merits of modern periodic table?

ANEK [815]

Answer:

<h3>Merits of modern periodic table:</h3>

The wrong position of some elements like argon, potassium, cobalt and nickel due to atomic weights have been solved by arranging the elements in the order of increasing atomic number without changing their own places.
The isotopes of some element have the same atomic numbers. Therefore, they find the same position in periodic table.
It separates metals from non-metals.
The groups of the table are divided into sub groups A and B due to their dissimilar properties which make the study of elements specific and easier.
The representative and transition elements have been separated.

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...

Describe Rutherford's contribution to the atomic model.

Nady [450]

Answer:

Rutherford's experiment, also known as

$\alpha - scattering \: experiment$

supports the existence of neutrons and the nucleus.

Explanation:

In the above diagram, Rutherford was trying to explain his contributions using thin foils of gold and other metals as targets for alpha particles from a radioactive source.

He observed that the majority of particles penetrated the foil either undeflected or with only a slight deflection. But, every now and then an alpha particle was scattered(or deflected) at a large angle..

According to Rutherford, most of the atoms must be empty space. This explains why the majority of alpha particles passed through through the gold foil with little or no deflection. The atoms positive charges, Rutherford proposed are all concentrated in the Nucleus, which is a dense central core within the atom.

Whenever an alpha particle came close to a nucleus in the scattering experiment, it experienced a large repulsive force and therefore a large deflection. Moreover, an alpha particle coming towards a nucleus would be completely repelled and its direction would be reversed. The positively charged particles in the Nucleus are called Protons.

I hope you find this useful... Have a lovely day.
