Answer:
The correct answer is B.
The astronaut will know due to the light from the explosion.
Explanation:
Sound and vibrations require a medium such as air to travel through. Space, there is no air. Only a vacuum. So sound and vibrations are unable to travel. Light requires no medium to travel. It can go through a vacuum.
Therefore the Astronaut will see a bright flash of light as it travels from the explosion to outer space. It is also important to note that light can travel very far because nothing else interacts with its wave particles and as such, it cannot be impeded.
Cheers!
An element is composed of millions of atoms and a compound is composed of molecules. When an atom reacts with another atom, a molecule is formed.
For example, if sodium reacts with chloride, it forms sodium chloride (Common salt). Here, sodium and chloride are elements and sodium chloride is a molecule. In this way, millions of atoms of sodium reacts with chloride and forms common salt.
Again, when the common salt is mixed with other compounds such as water, it forms a mixture.
Answer:
3.486 km
Explanation:
Suppose Joe and Max's directions are perfectly perpendicular (east vs north). We can calculate their distance at the destinations using Pythagorean theorem:

where J = 0.5 km and M= 3.45 km are the distances between Joe and Max to their original parting point, respectively. s is the distance between them.

The elements found in the Group 1, or the Alkali Metal Group, have electronic configurations that end in

.This means that they have 1 electron readily available to release in order to achieve a stable state.
When these atoms release the valence electron, they will achieve a stable state. For example, Lithium's stable state will be

and Sodium will be

.
The oxidation state will then be +1.
The answer is C.
