Which of the following is not a medium for sound waves?
solid |
|
liquid |
|
none of these is a medium for sound waves |
|

The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.
Elements in the Periodic Table of the Elements are ordered by which of the following?
atomic number |
|
number of electron shells |
|
atomic mass |
|
atomic weight |
The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.
In the heart, blood flows from the __________ ventricle to the lungs then back to the heart via the __________ atrium.
right, right |
