Light arrives on Earth from the sun in every colour (including 'colours' we can't see like UV and infrared). When the sunlight hits the Earth's atmosphere it collides with certain particles that 'shine' blue.

Explanation: What we see as white light is actually a mix of different colours, all with a different wavelength. We see colours when a particular wavelength of light gets reflected into our eyes (the other wavelengths get absorbed or pass through an object). Our atmosphere is around 78% nitrogen; when light collides with our atmosphere, the red and green wavelengths of light pass through unobstructed. The blue wavelength is reflected by the nitrogen in the atmosphere and eventually reaches our eyes. As there is so much nitrogen, you can see the blue light from everywhere—hence the colour of the sky!

The reason why the sky is blue is because it is reflecting off of the sky and when it is evening its losing light

Which will not appear in the equilibrium constant expression for the reaction below?
n200080 [17]

Answer:

[C] carbon solid

Explanation:

Pure solids and liquids are never included in the equilibrium constant expression because they do not affect the reactant amount at equilibrium in the reaction, thus since your equation has [C] as solid it will not be part of the equlibrium equation.

(HELP PLEASE) which pair would have an electrostatic force of attraction between them?
NISA [10]

Answer: K+ and P 3−

Explanation:

Electrostatic force of attraction is the attraction between different molecules that comes from them being electrically charged.

For molecules to have an electrostatic force of attraction, they need to have opposing charges because like charges repel each other but opposite charges attract.

In the question above, the only option that has opposing charges is option D so this is the correct option.

Rank the states of matter from the LEAST amount of energy to MOST
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The ranking of matter from the LEAST amount of energy to MOST amount of energy is;

B. Solid, Liquid, Gas

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the particles that make of matter depends on the temperature of the particles and the particles are constantly vibrating

Solid state (Least amount of energy)

In the solid state, the matter is held in solid (rigid) crystal lattice and the particles are rigidly located next to other adjacent particles and stacked up layer by layer

Liquid state (Intermediate amount of energy)

As the temperature of the particles are increased by heating, the particles (atoms and molecules) gain more kinetic energy and their vibration is increased which on further heating, leads to the breaking of the lattice bond of the solid state and the particles are then readjusted to exist side by side rather than being stacked on one another and the assume the liquid state

Upon further heating the particles in the liquid acquire more energy and are  and rather than exist side-by-side, they are able to exist as individual particles in the gaseous form

Gaseous state (Most amount of energy)

From the kinetic theory of matter, the molecules of matter in the gaseous state contains enough energy which is more than the intermolecular forces of attraction such that the particles are able to move and occupy the entire volume of the container in which it is placed

Therefore, the correct option is Solid, Liquid, Gas.
