Answer: During the summer, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a steep angle. ... Also, the long daylight hours allow the Earth plenty of time to reach warm temperatures. During the winter, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a shallow angle. These rays are more spread out, which minimizes the amount of energy that hits any given spot.

During the summer, the sun’s rays hit the Earth at a steep angle. The light does not spread out as much, thus increasing the amount of energy hitting any given spot. Also, the long daylight hours allow the Earth plenty of time to reach warm temperatures
During the winter, the sun’s rays hit the Earth at a shallow angle. These rays are more spread out, which minimizes the amount of energy that hits any given spot. Also, the long nights and short days prevent the Earth from warming up. Thus, we have winter

What type of bond would occur between carbon (C) and nitrogen (N)
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

covalent

Explanation:

The carbon and the nitrogen very often form bonds in nature, carbon-nitrogen bonds, which are covalent types of bonds. In fact, the bonds between the carbon and nitrogen are one of the most abundant in the biochemistry and the organic chemistry. The bonds between these two can be double bonds, as well as triple bonds. The carbon-nitrogen bonds have the tendency to be strongly polarized toward the nitrogen.

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The false statement is :

  • Pyrite is an ore of gold and is used in jewelry making.
  • Cobalt is not used in medicine.

Explanation:

Pyrite is an ore of iron sulfide found on the Earth and in coal, limestone and in many deposits of metallic ores. Due to its luster and pale yellowish color it appears as gold due to which it is also termed as Fool's gold.

It is used in firearms , in production of sulfur dioxide gas, etc.

Cobalt is used as medicine to treat cancer patient. Co-60 is used in treatment of cancer in which gamma rays produced by Co-60 are used  to kill tumor cells in a cancer patient.

which of the following correctly identifies the composition of an oxygen atom? A.8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons. B.6 pro
Ulleksa [173]
<span>You can answer this question by getting the atomic number and atomic mass of Oxygen from a periodic table. There you will find that the atomic number is 8, that means, by definition, that it has 8 protons. This is, because atomic number is defined as the number of protons of an element. Given that the atom is neutral, that implies that the atoms have the same number of electrons than protons. So you already know that the oxygen atoms has 8 protons and 8 electrons. The number of neutrons can vary, which is what defines the isotopes. Given that the atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999, that means that most atoms of oxygen has 8 neutrons (8 protons +8 neutrons = 16 atomic mass). But you can not be sure that a specific atom of oxygen has 8 neutrons, nevertheless, given that the other options are discarded (because they do not have 8 protons and 8 electrons), the only correct answer is the option A. 8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons.</span>

Please list about 10 facts about viscosity
MariettaO [177]
Viscosity is the thickness of a liquid, cause by the friction between the molecules in that liquid. A very high viscosity would result in a solid form and low would be a liquid. If a liquid as zero viscosity is only found in superfluids at there freezing points or lower. There are also two types of viscosity “dynamic” (which is measure in seconds, pascal seconds to be exact) and “kinematic” (which is measured in metre per second squared)

Fun fact they use viscosity to predict when volcanoes are going to erupt:)

Hope this helps I love sciencey stuff so if you need anymore help let me know!
