Which is older fault or intrusion?

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 […]

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 […]

Can a fish live without eyes?

Can a fish live without eyes? A fish in the wild could never survive without eyes because it couldn’t see predators approaching or find food. In a tank, however, they can live without being able to see. Can a fish regrow an eye? Unlike what is possible with the human eye, fish are able to […]

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 […]
