Elements in same group / family tend to have similar properties ( but not exactly the same). Since, iron and silver are in two different group / families, they have different properties.
Also, Silver and iron have different properties because they have different atomic structure. Having different atomic structure means bonding differently with other elements. So, they have different properties.
Natural Science. Although I don't know whether paleontology counts as a nautral science.
The temperature of the air, pavement, and the type of ice-melt compound used will affect the rate at which the ice melts. There are many different ice-melt compounds available from traditional rock salt (sodium chloride) to ice-melt pellets (calcium chloride).
Answer:
B) diffraction
Explanation:
A smooth pane of glass does not diffract light. A light passing through a smooth pane of glass may be absorbed, reflected or transmitted.
Diffraction only occurs with special types of glasses embedded with a diffraction grating and are called super prisms. Diffraction glasses use a a gradient lens which is able to separate light into all the colors of the rainbow.
Recall that diffraction is the separation of white light into its component wavelengths.
Biotic and abiotic factors are the environmental conditions that the organisms have to face to live in a specified environment.
-Abiotic factors-
Abiotic factors are the physical and chemical conditions of an environment. For example : heat, salinity, pressure, light, wind, pH ...
-Biotic factors-
Biotic factors are all the biological conditions of an environment for a specie/taxa. It can include prey and predator abundance, available food amount, available space, intra and interspecific competition...
The development of organims is under the control of abiotic factors. Some are adapted to heat, cold etc ... The abiotic factors will define which organisms are able or not to live in a specified place.
The living organisms will constitute the biotic factors, which define if and how can an organism live in a specified environment.
So, the abiotic factors are controling the biotic factors of an environment.
