A fire needs three things: fuel, oxygen and heat. ... Sometimes, fires occur naturally, ignited by heat from the sun or a lightning strike. However, most wildfires are because of human carelessness such as arson, campfires, discarding lit cigarettes, not burning debris properly, playing with matches or fireworks.

Which color of light is diffracted at a greater angle from a diffraction grating, red or yellow?
Anit [1.1K]
The color of light that will be diffracted at a greater angle from a diffracting grating is THE YELLOW COLOR.
This is because, the degree of diffraction depend on the wavelength of light and light color with shorter wavelength are diffracted at a larger angle than those with longer wavelengths. The wavelength of the yellow color is much more smaller than that of the red color.

What is the atomic number of an atom that has 20 protons and 20 neutrons
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

20

Explanation:

Hi there!

We need to find the atomic number of an atom that has 20 protons and 20 neutrons

the atomic number of an atom is equivalent to the amount of protons an atom has, as the number of protons determines what element an atom is.

Since the atom has 20 protons, the atomic number of the said atom is <u>20</u>

Hope this helps!

1. A chemical bond between metals and nonmetals; valence electrons are transferred ____.
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

1. Ionic bonding

2. Covalent bonding

3. Metallic bonding

Explanation:

Ionic bonding also referred to as electrovalent bonding is a kind of chemical bonding that involves the transfer of electrons between the valence shells of two elements with a large electronegativity difference usually a metal and a nonmetal.

For example an ionic bonding scenario might play out between a group one metal and a group seven halogen. While group one metals have one electron hindering their stability, group seven halogens need that one electron that could make them achieve this stability. It is this that causes them to come together in a way where the electron is transferred completely from the valence shell of the group 1 atom and accepted into the valence shell of the group 7 halogen.

Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms of comparable electronegativities. The electro negativity difference is not large enough to permit the total movement of the electrons and hence the electrons are then controlled by the nuclei of the two atoms

Between two metals, what we have is called the metallic bonding
