What causes hot air to rise, and cool air to sink?

Chemistry
1 answer:
nataly862011 [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

hot air rises because gases expand as they heat up.When air heats up and expands,its density also increases.The warmer,less dense air effectively floats on top of the colder, dense air below it. This creates a buoyant force that causes warmer air to rise.

cold air sinks because it is heavier as its more dense ( because of closely packed molecules) soits harder for them to move and they absorb less energy. Also, gravity pulls on it more strongly.

Hope it helps :)

Which has more neutrons: Cobalt or Nickel?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Because the most common form of Nickel is Ni-58 while the most common form of Cobalt is Co-59, this means that Cobalt (which is number 27 on the periodic table) has 27 protons and 32 neutrons. Therefore 1 less proton but 2 more neutrons and hence has a greater mass than Nickel.
