The sets of characteristics describe what we know about the inner planets is that have rocky surfaces, no rings, and few or no moons. The answer is letter C. Also, they are smaller in sizes compared to the outer planets. The rest of the choices are characteristics of the outer planets.
Answer: The correct answer is Option c.
Explanation: There are 2 types of planets in Our Solar system:
1. Inner planets: There are 4 planets which are known as inner planets which are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. These 4 planets lie close to Sun. These planets have rocky surfaces and have no ring system in them. The maximum number of moons in inner planets are 2. The orbital time of these planets is less than the outer planets.
2. Outer planets: There are 4 planets which are known as inner planets which are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. These 4 planets lie far from the Sun. These planets have gaseous surfaces and have ring system in them. These planets have many number of moons as compared to the inner planets. The orbital time of these planets is more than the inner planets.
From the above information, the correct answer is option c.
B) lower, increase
C) higher, decrease
D) higher, increase
I chose d and got it wrong. The correct answer is b.
O jump up to a higher energy level
are absorbed into the nucleus
O are ejected from the nucleus
Answer:
After jumping to the higher energy level also called the excited state the excited electron would be in a less stable position, so it would quickly emit a photon to relax back to a lower, more stable energy level.
sulfur
anitmony
selenium
Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Electric current is the flow of electrons and an atom that has free electrons will be able to carry current easily.
Hence, electronic configurations of the given elements are as follows.
Tin (Sn) -
Sulfur (S) -
Antimony (Sb) -
Selenium (Se) -
So, sulfur and selenium being non-metals won't be able to conduct electricity. Whereas both tin and antimony are poor metals but they are able to conduct electricity.
Antimony has half filled p-shell so, it will not lose its valence electrons as it is stable. Whereas tin will easily lose its valence electrons to become stable.
Thus, we can conclude that tin is the element that is most likely to carry electric current easily.
