Explanation:
The halogen family and noble gases are similar in just one particular way, they are groups of non-metals. All members of these two groups are categorized as non-metals.
Here are some of the differences between them;
- Halogens have 7 electrons in their outermost shell whereas noble gases have 8 electrons in theirs.
- Halogens are highly reactive elements, noble gases are non-reactive.
- Halogens are made up of electronegative elements where as noble gases are neither electropositive nor electronegative.
As the earth is in the form of a sphere, the angle of incidence of the sun's rays at the earth's surface increases from the equator towards the poles and therefore the amount of heat received on a GIVEN AREA diminishes in the same direction. Temperature is therefore normally hottest near the equator and coolest near the poles.
Answer: C. the warmer object transfers heat energy to the cooler side
