Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same:

51% Answer Correctly

number of electrons

number of electron shells

number of atomic mass units

number of electrons in their outer electron shell


Solution

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.

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

-32

32

16

0


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

47% Answer Correctly

atria

aorta

valves

ventricles


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.

Which of the following is the primary difference between a comet and an asteroid?

47% Answer Correctly

comets have an atmosphere

asteroids have a coma

comets orbit the Sun

asteroids contain frozen water
