From the standpoint of structure the opposite of a shell is what is inside the shell, or the interior.

In Biology, the opposite or reverse structure from a shell is a skeleton. (A shell being an exoskeleton.) On the other hand, the contrasting structure in animals that do not have shells could be the skin, an opposite or alternative type of exterior.

How would you wire a seashell to include in a floral arrangement?

You need a small drill to make a hole in the seashell. I find that a Dremmel tool is easiest to work with. Other options are to use a superglue to attach the wire to the backside of the shell. Decide how the shell will fit into your arrangement, then mark the opposite face of the shell to put the wire into. Drill slowly into the shell at the mark and insert the wire into the hole that you made. Twist the wire gently to secure the shell and to not damage a delicate shell. Insert into the arrangement.

What is magnetic shell?

A magnetic shell is a protective layer of magnetic material that can be applied to objects to shield them from magnetic fields or to manipulate magnetic forces. It can be used for various purposes such as improving data storage devices, protecting sensitive equipment from interference, or enhancing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology.


What is the total momentum of cannon and shell before and after firing?

Before the cannon is fired, the momentum is zero. So, after firing, the momentum must still be zero. The momentum of the shell is equal and opposite to that of the cannon, because there is an action and an equal reaction force. Since the momentum difference must be equal: (mv)cannon = (mv)shell Thus, (mv)c - (mv)s = 0 A simple way of looking at it is this is: If the shell is 100 times lighter than the cannon then the shell will move off 100 times faster than the cannon recoils. Remember that, in explosions, the lighter portion moves off faster than the heavier one.

Method of bond formation for ionic?

Ionic compounds form between two atoms or molecules with opposite charges. Atoms/molecules get these charges when they either gain or lose one or more electrons to fill or empty their valence shell (they generally want either 8 or 0 electrons in their outermost shell).
