the third of four gas giants
the third of five ringed planets
the planet between a belt of asteroids and a gas giant
Which item listed below is NOT considered an element?
Calcium
Water
Sulfur
Phosphorus
Limestone is a common form of calcium carbonate. When limestone is subjected to high heat, it becomes calcium oxide and releases carbon dioxide gas. This change in limestone, at a given temperature, is an example of:
a physical change like the melting of ice
a chemical change like the rusting of iron
an igneous change like the melting of rock in a volcano
a reversible change such as hardening melted butter
Compressing a spring increases its —
kinetic energy
potential energy
electrical energy
chemical energy
