First of all, a light-year is the distance light travels in one year. The star Alpha Centauri is about 4 light-years away, so light from Alpha Centauri takes 4 years to get to the Earth

galben [10]

Answer: the answer is c.The unbalanced push causes the cart to speed up.

Explanation:

The application of an unbalanced force (the push) causes the cart to speed up. When the cart is in constant motion, the forces are balanced and there is no speeding up. Once an unbalanced force is added, the cart's speed changes.

Choose the larger atom from each pair, if possible.

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

a. Sn or Si ⇒ Sn

b. Br or Ga ⇒ Ga

c. Sn or Bi ⇒ similar in size

d. Se or Sn ⇒ Sn

Explanation:

The larger atom has a larger atomic radius. We have to consider how varies the atomic radius for chemical elements in the Periodic Table. In a group (column), the atomic radius increases from top to bottom while in a period (file), it increases from right to left.

a. Sn or Si ⇒ Sn

They are in the same group. Sn is on the top, so it has a larger atomic radius.

b. Br or Ga ⇒ Ga

They are in the same period. Ga is located at the left so it has a larger atomic radius.

c. Sn or Bi ⇒ similar

They are not in the same group neither the same period. Bi is located more at the bottom, so it would be larger than Sn, but Bi is also at the right side, so it would be smaller than Bi. Thus, they have comparable sizes.

d. Se or Sn⇒ Sn

They are not in the same group neither the same period. Se is located at the top and right side compared to Sn, so Sn is the larger atom.

Write equations that show the processes that describe the first, second, and third ionization energies for a gaseous gadolinium

Inessa [10]

Answer:

Gd(g) → $Gd^{+}(g) + e^{-}$ , $Gd^{+}(g)$ → $Gd^{2+}(g) + e^{-}$ , $Gd^{2+}(g)$ → $Gd^{3+}(g) + e^{-}$

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion.

The first ionization energy is the energy required to remove the valence electron(outermost) from a neutral atom:

Gd(g)→ $Gd^{+}(g) + e^{-}$

The second ionization energy is the energy required to remove next/second electron from $x^{+}$ ion. The second ionization energy is always higher than the first:
