Read the selection from the section "Molecules In Motion." The molecules in the hot soup are traveling faster overall than they

did before the soup was heated. Conversely, the molecules in an ice cube are moving more slowly. Why did the author use the word "conversely"?

Answer: The author used the word "conversely" because the first statement he made is in CONTRAST to the second statement he made.

Explanation:

Matter is made up of atoms or molecules that are in constant motion. The motion of these tiny particles ( molecules) gives the object energy. The movement of these molecules depends on the state of matter which includes

--> GASEOUS STATE: Here, the particles are completely free to move and are always in motion.

--> LIQUID STATE: particles in this state slide by one another and are always in motion.

--> SOLID STATE: particles in this state are held tightly together but are always in motion.

Also, the molecules in motion are greatly affected by temperature changes. Increase in temperature will cause the particles in the liquid to move faster. Such is seen when soup is heated, the molecules travel faster than before. But the OPPOSITE is seen in an ice cube. This is because the ice cube is in solid state and of a lower temperature.

Calcium atoms have 20 protons, but tend to form ions with a 2+ charge. How
scoray [572]

Answer: With atomic number 20, calcium atoms have 20 positive protons, and the ion has only 18 electrons, which means the net charge is +2. Calcium ions are essential for muscle contractions, nerve impulses, and bone maintenance.

PAP Physical Studies<br><br> How can you remember the periodic table?
siniylev [52]
Break down the table into smaller sections. Memories period by period or if you like by group (like halogens or noble gases).
Just say the elements in order everyday 1-10 then when you get those 11-20 and continued.
