Answer:

Planet B is expected to be cooler than Planet A.

Explanation:

In the given case, planet A is closer to the star than planet B. Their atmospheric conditions and mass is same so their surface temperature will depend on their distance from the star. Since planet A is closer, it will receive more radiation from the star. In turn it will be hotter to re-radiate that energy back to space. Hence, average surface temperature of planet B will be lower than planet A.

Describe how two abiotic factors can move into the trees in a rain forest ecosystem
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The abiotic factors are non-living factors that interfere with the forest ecosystem. Two abiotic factors are the amount of rain and sunlight. The amount of these two abiotics determines how much a tree will grow or how thick and diverse the population of trees in a forest will be.

What is 48% expressed as a fraction in simplest form?
Gekata [30.6K]
In order to turn percent to a fraction, first, we write it as 48/100. Then, from there we simplify it to the simplest form.

48/100 = (48/4) / (100/4) = 12/25

So, 48% <span>expressed as a fraction in simplest form is 12/25.</span>

Dr. Haxton says the o-o bond is polar and the c-c bond is nonpolar. A good student would say ...
Serggg [28]

Dr. Haxton says the O-O bond is polar and the C-C bond is nonpolar. A good student would say ...

a.No, both bonds are highly polar.

b.Yes. O attracts electrons more strongly than C.

c.Right! O is electronegative, so O2 is polar.

d.Wrong again, Ralph. Both bonds are nonpolar. When two atoms of the same kind form a covalent bond, they share electrons equally because their electronegativity is the same.

e.No way. C is more electronegative than O.

Answer: d.Wrong again, Ralph. Both bonds are nonpolar. When two atoms of the same kind form a covalent bond, they share electrons equally because their electronegativity is the same.

Explanation:

Often when O and H are present in the substance at (opposite) ends (of the electronegativity scale), the polarity observed is very large, we can safely say the substance have a polar bond in it.
