Document Summary

Asthenosphere- soft plastic stuff under litho (200km below) Mid ocean ridge- d where lithosphere is being created. Mantle able to move around for convection. Types of boundaries: divergent plate(mid ocean ridge, new crust made, convergent plate(creates a trench, subducting ocean plate,, transform boundary(slide past each other) 2/3 of granite made up of feldspar: protons/neutrons+/0, electrons- Atomic number- number of protons: 1p h, 2p he, 6p- c. Isotopes- two or more atoms of the same an but different atomic mass: c12- 98. 9, c13-1. 1, c14- very small% (radioactive) Election shells- the space occupied by electrons of a particular energy level: full shell most stable, where electron bonds takes place. Na gives away one electron from outermost shell to cl to balance (na+, cl- : covalent bond- sharing electrons,strong bonds. Ccc: van der waals bonds(weak, unequal charge develops) When sides of group of bonded molecules develops charges.
