Current electricity is caused by flowing negatively charged particles.
In a transverse wave:
- Oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of energy travelling
- Frequency is the amount of complete waves passing a certain point in one second (measured in hertz, Hz)
- Wavelength is the distance from any point on one wave to the same point on the following wave
- The amplitude is the maximum displacement of the particles from their average position (and be measured from the horizontal mid-point of the wave to either the peak or trough)
There isn't always a defined relationship between these features. However, frequency × wavelength = velocity of the wave.
Answer:
2, 8 and shell
Explanation:
Neon as atomic number 10. Since for each shell, electrons equal 2n².
When n = 1, 2n² = 2(1)² = 2
When n = 2, 2n² = 2(2)² = 8
So it fills both the first and second shell with 2 and 8 electrons respectively to achieve its stable atomic state. The rest of the 8 electrons go into the second shell because the first shell has achieved its stable dual configuration of two electrons. The next shell requires a maximum of 8 electrons to achieve stability so, the remaining electrons fill it up to achieve the stable octet configuration.
Answer:
3.75 billion years
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Half-life (t½) = 1.25 billion years
Number of half-lives (n) = 3
Time (t) =?
The time taken for the sample of potassium-40 to contains one-eighth the original amount of parent isotope can be obtained as:
n = t / t½
3 = t / 1.25
Cross multiply
t = 3 × 1.25
t = 3.75 billion years.
Therefore, it will take 3.75 billion years for the sample of potassium-40 to contains one-eighth the original amount of parent isotope
