Comets are objects in the space that is composed mainly of dust and ice. While approaching the sun, a tail grows. Comets have nucleus which represents the hard rock object. As it nears the sun, it heats up the comet causing it to vaporize. Meteors, on the other hand, are what we call "shooting stars". They are interplanetary dusts that burn up as it approaches the Earth's atmosphere.

Why does one Oxygen atom bond with two Hydrogen atoms to form water? Why don't they bond in a different ratio?
Vladimir79 [104]

This is because oxygen (2.8.6) requires two electrons on its valence shell to attain stable configuration (2.8.8). Hydrogen (1) on the other hand requires one electron on its valence shell to attain stable configuration (2). Therefore in a covalent bond, it requires two hydrogen and one oxygen to share electrons and achieve stable configuration.

How many daltons is in an ion with 15 protons, 16 neutrons and 17 electrons?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
31  
A dalton is the same as an atomic mass unit. And an atomic mass unit is approximately the mass of a nucleon (proton or neutron) such that the mass is 1 g/mol. So in this problem you have 15 protons and 16 neutrons, so the number of daltons is 15 + 16 = 31.
