Why does temperature pressure and density decrease with altitude? Altitude is height above sea level. The density of air decreases with height. There are two reasons: at higher altitudes, there is less air pushing down from above, and gravity is weaker farther from Earth’s center. So at higher altitudes, air molecules can spread out more, […]

Why does cooling rate affect crystal size? As the rate of cooling increases, crystal size decreases. This means that something which cools very quickly will have smaller crystal formations, and something which cools slowly will have larger crystal formations. This is easily seen in igneous rock, which may cool at variable rates. What factors affect […]

Each next element in a period has one more proton and is less metallic than its predecessor. Arranged this way, groups of elements in the same column have similar chemical and physical properties, reflecting the […]
