How did convection currents cause the plates to move

Chemistry
1 answer:
Paul [167]3 years ago
4 0
Convection currents in the mantle are powered by the heat from the earth's core. The convection cells move in a circular motion in the mantle as the plumes or currents of magma rises and falls due to heating and cooling. This circular motion will affect the base of the crust and drag the crustal plates along. The movement however is very slow, as plates only move a few centimeters or inches per year.

Balance the following equation: H20 --> H2 + O2​
MakcuM [25]

2H2O = 2H2 + O2.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Balancing equations is very essential because of the fact that it represents the stoichiometric quantities of the reactants needed to react to form the product. The ratio of the weights of reactant and product are also very well understood from this.

Here in this equation, the water is broken into hydrogen and oxygen. The balanced reaction is

2H2O = 2H2 + O2.

Two moles of water is broken down into 2 moles of hydrogen and one mole of oxygen.

calcium has atomic number of 20 how many electrons of a calcium atom are involved in chemical bonding
Lelu [443]

The answer is 2 electrons.


The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2

Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements.  Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.

Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known  as an ionic compound.

For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas,   calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.
