S |
The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.
In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:
atomic number |
|
period |
|
family |
|
group |
The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.
__________ is caused by a lack of iron in the diet.
anemia |
|
diabetes |
|
shingles |
|
scurvy |
Anemia, which may cause weakness, dizziness, and headaches is caused by a lack of iron in the diet.
The first step in the water cycle is:
evaporation |
|
infiltration |
|
precipitation |
|
reclamation |
The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.
