Actually, there are four kinds of reptile motion:
Concertina - vermiform. Circular muscles around the snake squeeze the front of the snake's body out long, then the latter half is pulled forward.
Rectilinear crawling - Belly scutes are moved forward individually in a wave-like motion.
Side-winding - Snake's version of "walking". Use by several species to move over fluidic substrates, such as sand.
Lateral undulation - Most common form of movement. Snake presses on alternating pressure points to force body forward (or backward)

The atomic number in an element is usually how many protons the element has. For example, Hydrogen has a 1 on top of the H (on the periodic table), therefore, Hydrogen has 1 proton. Oxygen has an 8 on top of the O (on the periodic table) so therefore, Oxygen has 8 protons.
The air in the sky and the clouds are gas, however some things in the sky [such as the sun/moon] are solid.

Answer:
Methanol and butanol are alcohols. Alcohols have the same_______________ as alkanes and the __________ identifies the compound as an alcohol.
Explanation:
Alcohols belong to a group of organic compounds which contain -OH group as the functional group.
So alcohols have the same carbon -hydrogen bonds as alkanes and the -OH functional group identifies the compound as an alcohol.
Answer:
When a sodium atom transfers an electron to a chlorine atom, forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-), both ions have complete valence shells, and are energetically more stable. The reaction is extremely exothermic, producing a bright yellow light and a great deal of heat energy.
