Nitrous oxide (N2O), more commonly known as laughing gas, is used as a mild sedatitive during various dental procedures. As a gas, it has a densityof 1.977 x 10-3g/mL. Wheniron is exposed to oxygen it forms rust (Fe2O3), which is a solid and has a density value of 5.25 g/mL. Why are the density values so different among these substances? a)The metal atoms weigh more than the atoms of the gas.
b)The metal forms metallic bonds which are more greatly affected by gravity, increasing the mass.
c)The metal is a solid, and solids weigh more based on the principles of their states of matter.
d)There are fewer gas particles than solid particles in the same volume.

B.

Explanation:

The metal forms metallic bonds which are more greatly affected by gravity, increasing the mass.

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
