How is beryllium sililar to lithium?

Beryllium and lithium are both alkali metals with similar characteristics. They are both light metals with low density, have a relatively low melting point, and are highly reactive. However, beryllium is denser and has a higher melting point compared to lithium.

How the melting of the interior of the earth helped to bring about differentiation?

Its a process by which denser material is separated from lighter material and is set in layers with the heavier and denser material sinking to the core and the lighter to the surface.

just because accept it ok!


Does every metal have higher density than every nonmetal?

No. The alkali metals in particular have very low densities; the only elements with a lower density than lithium at room temperature are the ones that are gases. Carbon, sulfur, bromine and iodine are all denser than all the alkali metals and several of the alkaline earth metals. Iodine is denser than aluminium and titanium.


Is a cup of flour denser than a cup of water?

It is less dense than water if there might be spaces between the small parts of the flour if no objects can be touching and the total density is slightly less than the density of the object and we'll be slightly increasing the volumes when calculating when repulsion isn't high


Eris is smaller than Pluto?

Yes, but only slightly. Eris has a greater mass than Pluto because it is denser.

Why Does rubber float on milk?

In order to float, the bubble hitches a ride on a gas that is slightly denser than the air trapped inside of it: carbon dioxide!


Does chloride concentration increase with the seas depth?

Yes. Chloride concentration increases with the seas depth. This is because chloride increases the salinity of the water. The more saline the water, the denser it becomes. Dense water, even if it is slightly denser, tends to sink below.
