What can ionizing radiation cause? Exposure to ionizing radiation causes cell damage to living tissue and in high acute doses will result in radiation burns and radiation sickness, and lower level doses over a protracted time can cause cancer. What is indirect action of ionizing radiation? Cell damage can be caused by direct or indirect […]
What are the 2 main types of metamorphic rocks?
What are the 2 main types of metamorphic rocks? There are two main types of metamorphic rocks: those that are foliated because they have formed in an environment with either directed pressure or shear stress, and those that are not foliated because they have formed in an environment without directed pressure or relatively near the […]
What do you mean by noble gas configuration?
What do you mean by noble gas configuration? A noble gas configuration of an atom consists of the elemental symbol of the last noble gas prior to that atom, followed by the configuration of the remaining electrons. So for sodium, we make the substitution of [Ne] for the 1s22s22p6 part of the configuration. Sodium’s noble […]

What happens to the temperature of an object when the particles are moving slower?
What happens to the temperature of an object when the particles are moving slower? In physics, temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object. When particles move more quickly, temperature is higher and an object feels warmer. When particles move more slowly, temperature is lower and an object feels […]
