Answer:

An unconformity is a widespread surface separating rocks above and below, which represents a gap in the rock record. Unconformities occur when either erosion wears away rocks, or rock deposits never form. Therefore, a time gap exists between when the rocks below the unconformity formed and when those above it formed.

The question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below.
..........................................................................................................................

Correct Answer: <em>Option 1) 2-pentene</em>

Reason:
Following are the IUPAC rules for naming the compound
1) Select the longest carbon chain. In present case longest carbon chain has 5 carbon atom. Hence, it is a pentane derivative.
2) In case of alkene, replace 'e' of alkane by 'ene'
3) Give lowest number to function group. In present case, it is double bond.

Applying above rules, the IUPAC name of compound is 2-pentene

The statement "electrons have a negative charge" is true. Select the correct evidence scientist have that proves this statement

Kryger [21]

The question is incomplete but i will try to offer as much help as i can.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The electron was discovered by J.J Thompson. His model of the atom was called the plum-pudding model of the atom.

He discovered that cathode rays being negatively charged particles were deflected by a magnet in just the same way as moving, negative electrically charged particles.

Similarly, in an electric field, they are deflected towards the positive plate of the electrostatic field which shows that they are negatively charged.
