Because the Earth's orbit around the sun is not in the same plane as the Moon's orbit around the Earth.
<h2>
Answer: # of neutrons = 9</h2>
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
# of neutrons = mass number - atomic number
= 17 - 8
= 9
<h3>∴ number of neutrons in an atom of oxygen of mass number 17, is 9.</h3>
Answer:
Compound 1 is molecular
Compound 2 is ionic
Compound 3 can't really be decided
Explanation:
A molecular substance does not conduct electricity, has very low melting and boiling points and is held together by very weak intermolecular forces.
An ionic substance conducts electricity in solution or in molten state but never in the pure solid state, has a high melting and boiling point and has a dull appearance most times.
Compounds 1 shows the properties of molecular substances hence it are designated as such.
On the other hand, compound 2 shows the properties of an ionic substance and is also designated as such.
We can't really decide on compound 3 because it shows some properties of ionic substances and some properties of molecular substances.
