A subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. This desribes which of the following?
electron |
|
neutron |
|
isotope |
|
proton |
An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.

|
proton |
|
neutron |
|
atom |
A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge.

The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?
seasons |
|
tides |
|
the northern lights |
|
day and night cycle |
Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon.
When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:
conduction |
|
reflection |
|
refraction |
|
convection |
Because different materials have different refractive indices, light changes speed when passing from one material to another. This causes the light to bend (refraction) at an angle that depends on the change in refractive index between the materials. The greater the difference, the higher the angle of refraction.
