62% Answer Correctly

herbivores

scavengers

3

When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:

74% Answer Correctly

conduction

convection

reflection

refraction


Solution

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.

212°F is how many °C?

78% Answer Correctly

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

100

-100

0


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)

Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:

50% Answer Correctly

electrons

atomic mass units

protons

electron shells


Solution

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
