Answer:
The energy transferred between samples of matter because of a difference in their temperatures is called a. heat.
Explanation:
The first law of thermodynamics establishes that when two bodies with different temperatures are put in contact they will find thermic equilibrium to a final temperature by transferring heat. Thus the correct answer is (a).
Thermochemistry is the study of the transformations of heat energy on the chemical reactions. Chemical kinetics is the study of the rate of chemical reactions. And temperature is the measure of the heat.
<u>Answer:</u>
The principle of faunal succession state <em>"Specific groups of organisms have followed one another in a definite sequence through the Earth's history."</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Faunal succession basically means is that the fossils of the flora and fauna of different eras can be found in a specific order and never in the same strata. This allows the geologists to determine the time sequence and also to identify the various strata by dating the fossils that are found in each of them. The older version of fossils are found beneath the fossils of modified versions. For example fossils of simple feathers that cannot support flight are found to be succeeded by fossils of more complex feathers.
A. Large atoms have valence electrons farther from the nucleus and lose them more readily, so they are more reactive than small atoms.
For example, the valence electron of a small atom like Li is tightly held. <em>Lithium gently fizzes</em> on the surface as it reacts with the water to produce hydrogen.
In contrast, the valence electron of a large atom like Cs is so loosely held that <em>cesium exlodes </em>on contact with water.
