Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation. From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
__________ and __________ pair to strengthen bones.
vitamin D, calcium |
|
calcium, vitamin A |
|
vitamin D, magnesium |
|
iron, calcium |
Vitamin D helps calcium strengthen bones while also aiding muscle, nerve, and immune system function.
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by what kind of bond?
chemical |
|
molecular |
|
ionic |
|
covalent |
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
In which type of compound does one atom borrow an electron from another atom?
ionic |
|
covalent |
|
chemical |
|
acidic |

Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude only |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a direction only |
|
a magnitude and a polarity |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
