Do you mean "deciding when the continents shifted"? If so, the fossils of fish and other animals found in mountain belts show when water was surrounding a certain landmass. From here scientists can determine when this land mass separated.
Neon atomic number is 10
carbon atomic number is 6
Answer:
CH3(CH2)8CH3 > CH3CH2CH2CH3 > CH3CH3 (Option f)
Explanation:
Larger and heavier atoms and molecules exhibit stronger dispersion forces than smaller and lighter ones. In a larger atom or molecule, the valence electrons are, on average, farther from the nuclei than in a smaller atom or molecule. They are less tightly held and can more easily form temporary dipoles.
CH3CH3 has a molar mass of 30.07 g/mol
CH3(CH2)8CH3 has a molar mass of 142.28 g/mol
CH3CH2CH2CH3 has a molar mass of 58.12 g/mol
CH3(CH2)8CH3 > CH3CH2CH2CH3 > CH3CH3 (Option f)
All of the elements in the middle are the transition metals (groups 3-12)
