The condensation sequence suggests that ____________ should condense as solids closest to the Sun.
A)hydrogen and helium
B)metals and metal oxides
C)silicates
D)ices of water, methane, and ammonia

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The condensation sequence suggests that the substances with higher melting and boiling points will condense as solids closest to the Sun. Metals and metal oxides have higher melting points compared to silicates and ices of water, methane, and ammonia, and hydrogen and helium are gases at standard temperatures and pressures. Therefore, metals and metal oxides should condense as solids closest to the Sun as per the condensation sequence.
