Explanation:

The speed of seismic waves is affected by the density of the underlying rock.

Seismic waves are elastic waves that transmits elastic energy from one point to the other.

These waves generally produced during an earthquake.

The higher the density of rock bodies, the faster the wave travels.
Rocks that are well packed with little to no void have a higher seismic velocity.
Where density of rock is low, the speed is also low

What are some non examples of biodiversity

zhenek [66]

A monocrop is a non example of biodiversity because it contains only one species, such as all corn, therefore there is very little biodiversity.

What is the Lewis dot diagram structure for PI2F

Brut [27]

Answer:

Please find attached the completed Lewis dot diagram structure for PI₂F

Explanation:

The number of valence electrons are;

Phosphorus = 5 Electrons

Iodine = 2 × 7 electrons = 14 electrons

Chlorine = 7 electrons

The total number of valence electrons = 14 + 7 + 5 = 26 electrons

2) We draw the symbol that represents the basic (general) structure of the molecule as follows;

The sheared electron pair are represented by single bond lines

3) We complete the octet structures round the fluorine and the iodine atoms as attached showing 18 electrons plus 6 shared electron pairs, with a maximum from step 2 to give a total of (18 + 6) 24 electron pairs

4) We add the 2 unaccounted valence electron on the phosphorus atom to give it the stable octet structure, which gives the completed Lewis structure
