Answer:
C. Deductive reasoning
Explanation:
Deductive reasoning is a reasoning or logical process whereby a conclusion is drawn based on the belief of multiple premises that are generally assumed to be true. It is a logical process in which one or multiple statements reaches a logical conclusion.
In the question, the statement assumed to be true is that <em>noble gases are unreactive because of their electronic structures.</em>
The conclusion thus drawn from the premise is that <em>if other elements could be made to achieve noble gases electronic structures (</em><u><em>this is the reason why they are unreactive - the fact)</em></u><em> they would be more stable.</em>
<em />
Therefore, deductive reasoning moves from a wilder reasoning to a specific (narrower) reasoning.
Answer:
Space junk is travelling so fast that a collision with an astronaut or a spacecraft could be disastrous.
Explanation:
Space junk orbits the Earth at speeds of about 28 000 km/h.
That's so fast that even an orbiting fleck of paint has enough kinetic energy to cause impact craters on the surface of a spacecraft. They are even more dangerous to an astronaut on a space walk.
Much of the space debris is larger and more dangerous than a fleck of paint.
One rough estimate of the amount of space debris is
<em> </em><u>Size</u><em> </em> <u>Number of objects</u>
< 1 cm 200 000 000
1 cm to 10 cm 700 000
> 10 cm 30 000
Satellites, etc. 18 000
The chances of collision are small, but any collision can be disastrous.
When uranium<span> comes in contact with oxygen in the air, it rusts, just like iron does, but </span>uranium<span> rust is black and not red. Like other heavy </span>atoms <span>such as iron, </span>uranium atoms<span> have more neutrons than they do protons. Not all </span>uranium atoms<span> have the </span>same<span> number of neutrons.</span>
