There are many moons in the solar system. which statement best describes how moons typically move? a. each moon orbits a planet, but it does not orbit the sun. b. each moon orbits the sun, but it does not orbit a planet. c. each moon orbits a planet and also orbits the sun. d. each moon neither orbits a planet nor the sun.

The correct answer is Option C.

Explanation:

Solar system consists of a star, planets, moons, satellites of the planets, asteroids, meteoroids and comets.

Our solar system is named after the star which is Sun. Sun in roman means "Sol" and hence, the name solar system.

Our solar system consists of eight planets which revolve around the Sun and planets have moons which revolve around the planet. As, planets revolve around the Sun, therefore moons also revolve around the Sun.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C.

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
