Yhe phase you are describing is the lag phase.
<span>One observation would be the physical size of Russia compared to other countries, despite a lack of visible borders from space. In addition, part of Russia's outline would likely be obscured by the various clouds and objects in the stratosphere; this would allow the astronaut to view potential cloud and weather patterns on earth. Also, an astronaut could see outlines of Russia's geography such as mountain ranges.</span>
Answer:
Because the earth's axis is tilted. It is all about the tilt of the Earth axis.
Explanation:
Answer:
1. Magnesium and oxygen atoms bond to form an ionic compound; this is evident because one forms a cation and the other an anion. When an ionic compound is formed, one atom "steals" an electron (or electrons) from another. In this case, an oxygen atom (which is pretty electronegative by the way) "steals" 2 electrons from a magnesium atom. The resulting oxygen anion and magnesium cation attract one another to form a bond (more specifically, an ionic one).
2. The oxygen atom needed two sodium atoms to bond because it needs two additional electrons to achieve a stable octet of electrons. 1 sodium atom provides 1 additional electron after it is "stolen" by oxygen, so 2 sodium atoms are needed in total to form the bond.
3. The magnesium atom needed two fluorine atoms to bond because it needs to lose two electrons to achieve a stable configuration/octet of electrons. 1 fluorine atom "steals" one electron, so 2 are needed in total.
Happy Holidays!
