differentiate between the characteristics, composition, and location of comets, asteroids, and meteoroids.

Chemistry

Masja [62]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Asteroids

At first glance, asteroids may seem like run-of-the-mill space rocks, but these ancient solar system remnants come in all shapes, sizes and flavors

Comets

For millennia, the sight of a comet elicited fear and awe. Ancient astronomers believed comets foretold the death of princes and the outcomes of wars. Modern astronomers know comets are the ice-clad leftovers from the material that formed our solar system billions of years ago.

Meteoroids

Meteoroids are the true space rocks of the solar system. No larger than a meter in size (3.3 feet) and sometimes the size of a grain of dust, they are too small to be considered asteroids or comets, but many are the broken pieces of either. Some meteoroids originate from the ejected debris caused by impacts on planets or moons.

Which elements have high densities, strength, and resistance to corrosion?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

transition elements

Explanation:

Metalloids are elements that have properties intermediate between those of metals and nonmetals. They are sometimes referred to as semi-metals. These materials have recently found great application in materials science and information technology.

Transition elements are however renowned for high densities and tensile strength. The transition elements have the highest density of all the element groups in the periodic table and also have resistance to corrosion. Transition metals such as gold silver and lead are coinage metals because they are resistant to corrosion.

Alkali and alkaline earth metals tarnish easily due to their high reactivity. They are usually very soft metals.

How to classify an unknown element as a metal, metalloid, or non-metal
nadya68 [22]
You can classify a metal: when a subject can surely conduct electricity.

examples: if a problem says the unknown object is malleable, or says "on the left side of the periodic table", is a conductor, is shiny, etc.


Metalloids: when a subject is alongside the staircase, uses word "semi-conductor", it depends on if it's malleable or ductile, and depends on whether it's shiny or not, etc.


Nonmetal: is located on the right side of the periodic table, can ONLY be an insulator, is not malleable, is not shiny, etc.
