Sarah is investigating the transfer of energy in the form of heat. One process that transfers energy
between two objects is conduction. Which statement
is not true about conduction?
A. It involves a transfer of energy in the form of heat.
B. It can transfer energy through empty space.
C. It requires direct contact between the objects.
D. It results in a change of temperature in both
objects.

B

Explanation:

In order for any conduction to take place it needs to go through a solid. Therefore it cannot travel through empty space

i believe the answer is c. "baking" is the gerund, while "baking blueberry muffins" would be the gerund phrase. hope this ! : )

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
