Explanation:

Silver and Gold belong to a special group of metals known as the native metals. They are found naturally on their own and not in combined form in rocks.

  • These metals are found uncombined because they are unreactive.
  • They prefer to alloy with themselves.
  • Calcium and magnesium on the other hand are reactive metals.
  • The unreactivity of these metals makes them uncombined in nature.

What are similarities between global warming and the greenhouse effect
n200080 [17]
The greenhouse effect is rightly called that because greenhouses allow heat to enter, but doesn't allow heat to leave, which warms plants.

On earth however, it's much bigger. Our own atmosphere acts similarly to this; it allows heat in, but doesn't allow it to leave which heats up the planet and causes global warming.

Which sequence of events is required to form a limestone cave where you can walk around and observe cave formations, such as stalactites? (Note: stalactites hang from the ceiling - they have to hold on tight to the roof.)

A geological sequence of events as involving the lowering of the water table to expose cave structures where stalactites and stalagmites form which is described as follows,

Explanation:

1. Acidic percolated water formed cavities of solution beneath the natural water table known as phreatic zone

2. After the passage of time there is a drop in the water table dropped forming caves from cavities

3. These caves, which are air filled voids that contains adequate environment for forming stalactites and stalagmites and where they are found

Which of the following statements explains why atoms are always neutral in charge
laila [671]

Answer:

D. They have the same number of protons as electrons.

Explanation:

Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom and have a positive charge while electrons orbit around the nucleus and have a negative charge. Usually, in a neutral atom of an element, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. This is why the atom has no charge because the positive and negative charges cancel out. When an atom loses an electron its charge turns positive while when it gains an electron its charge turns negative.
