Ganymede is one of the many moons of jupiter. it is nearly spherical in shape. it is larger than the planet mercury and slightly smaller than the planet mars. if it is so large compared with the bodies around it, why is it called a moon and not a planet? a.it is too far from the sun. b.it is smaller than jupiter. c. it moves in an orbit around jupiter. d.it has no gravitational pull.

The correct answer is C. It moves in an orbit around Jupiter.

Moon is termed as an astronomical body and it orbits planet earth.

In the solar system, moon is the fifth largest satellite which is natural. It is the second brightest celestial subject which is regularly visible in the sky.

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

On the basis of periodic trends, choose the larger atom from each pair (if possible): match the elements in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. make certain each sentence is complete before submitting your answer.

          Sn, F, Ge, not predictable, Cr

Of Ge or Po, the larger atom is

Of F or Se, the larger atom is

Of Sn or I, the larger atom is

Of Cr or W, the larger atom is

Explanation:

When we move down a group then there occurs an increase in atomic size of the atoms due to increase in the number of electrons.

Ge is a group 14 element which lies in period 4 and Po is a group 16 element that lies in period 6. As polonium is larger in size as compared to germanium.

Fluorine is a group 17 element and lies in period 2. Selenium is a group 16 element lies in 4. Therefore, selenium is larger in size as compared to fluorine.

Sn is a group 14 element that lies in period 5 and I is a group 17 element that lies in period 5. Hence, I is a larger atom.

Cr is a d-block element which lies in period 4 and W is also a d-block element which lies in period 6. Hence, W is larger in size than Cr.

Thus, we can conclude that given blanks are matched as follows.
