Which is older fault or intrusion? An intrusion is always younger than the rock layers around and beneath it. A fault is always younger than the rock it cuts through. The surface where new rock layers meet a much older rock surface beneath them is called an unconformity. An unconformity is a gap in the […]
Who invented radioactive?
Who invented radioactive? Henri Becquerel How did we discover uranium? Uranium was discovered in 1789 by Martin Klaproth, a German chemist, who isolated an oxide of uranium while analyzing pitchblende samples from the Joachimsthal silver mines in the former Kingdom of Bohemia, located in the present day Czech Republic. He named his discovery “uran” after […]
Why is francium so reactive?
Why is francium so reactive? Explanation: Francium is an alkali metal in group 1/IA. All alkali metals have one valence electron. This makes it easier to remove the electron and makes the atom more reactive. Why is F2 so reactive? Why is fluorine gas (F2) reactive if it is already a molecule? This is because […]

What are five factors that affect the rate of a chemical reaction?
What are five factors that affect the rate of a chemical reaction? Five factors typically affecting the rates of chemical reactions will be explored in this section: the chemical nature of the reacting substances, the state of subdivision (one large lump versus many small particles) of the reactants, the temperature of the reactants, the concentration […]
Does CH4 have a dipole?
Does CH4 have a dipole? The dipole moment of methane CH4 is zero. Is CH4 a dipole-dipole force? Also CH4 molecules cannot have permenant dipole-dipole attractions because each of the species bonded to the carbon is identical and CH4 has a tetrahedral shape. Therefore the strongest intermolecular forces between CH4 molecules are Van der Waals […]
