The movement of tectonic plates is so slow and gradual that you cannot see or feel them moving. As a result, scientist depend on

the global positioning system (GPS) to verify tectonic plate motion. Satellites can measure the small distances that GPS ground stations move over time. In what units is the movement of tectonic plates measured? Group of answer choices.

Which choice is an example of an endothermic process?
77julia77 [94]

Answer: conversion of ice to steam

Explanation: Endothermic process is one in which energy is absorbed by the system.

Conversion of ice to steam is change of solid phase to gaseous phase, thus energy is required to break the strong inter molecular forces of attraction in solids to convert it into gaseous phase.

Conversion of steam to ice, conversion of steam to water  and conversion of water to ice releases energy and are examples of exothermic processes.

________ are weak bonds that are not strong enough to hold atoms together to form molecules but are strong enough to form bonds
olga_2 [115]

<u>Hydrogen bonds </u>are weak bonds that are not strong enough to hold atoms together to form molecules but are strong enough to form bonds within and around large molecules.

  • The hydrogen bond is weak bond.
  • The hydrogen bond  is electrostatic force of attraction between hydrogen atom and more electronegative atoms or group ( like Florine , oxygen or nitrogen) which is contently bonded.
  • The hydrogen bond is occur in polar , contently bond atoms in different molecules.
  • Example is H-O-H or NH_{3}
  • The positively charged hydrogen side of one water molecule is bond with negatively charged oxygen side of another molecule.

The notation for a particular nucleus is r3785b. in an electrically neutral atom. How many electrons are in orbit about this nuc
Serhud [2]

^{85}_{37}Rb has 37 electrons in the orbit about its nucleus.

<h3>How to write an atomic symbol with atomic mass and atomic number?</h3>

Atomic mass is the total number of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of an element.

The atomic number is the total number of protons present in the nucleus of an element.

For writing an atomic symbol, atomic mass is written on the top left of the atomic symbol, and the atomic number is written on the downside of the left of the symbol.

^{Atomic mass}_{Atomic number}X

An electrically neutral atom is an atom that has an equal number of electrons as well as protons.

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that  ^{85}_{37}Rb has 37 electrons.

Determine the hybrid orbital of this molecule.
Pavel [41]

The hybrid orbital of this molecule is sp^3. Hence, option C is correct.

<h3>What is hybridisation?</h3>

Hybridization is defined as the concept of mixing two atomic orbitals to give rise to a new type of hybridized orbitals.

In this compound, sp^3 a hybrid orbital makes I-O bonds. Due to sp^3hybridization iodate should have tetrahedral geometry but because of the presence of lone pair of electrons the shape of IO^{3-} the ion is pyramidal.

The hybrid orbital of this molecule is sp^3. Hence, option C is correct.

The complete combustion of a sample of propane produced 2.641 grams of carbon dioxide and 1.442 grams of water as the only produ
ohaa [14]
A general equation for a combustion reaction would be expressed as follows:

CxHy + (x+y/2)O2 = xCO2 + y/2H2O

Propane would obviously would only have carbon and hydrogen in its structure. Assuming a complete combustion, all of the carbon atoms would go to carbon dioxide and all of the hydrogen atoms to water. To determine the empirical, we determine the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms present.

moles C = 2.461 g CO2 ( 1 mol / 44.01 g ) ( 1 mol C / 1 mol CO2 ) = 0.06 mol C

moles H = 1.442 g H2O ( 1 mol / 18.02 g ) ( 2 mol H / 1 mol H ) = 0.16 mol H

Then, we divide the smallest amount to the each mole of the atoms. We do as follows:

C = 0.06 / 0.06 = 1
H = 0.16 / 0.06 = 2.67

Then we multiply a number in order to obtain a whole number ratio between the atoms.

2       C2H5.34
