According to the octet rule, if an atom has fewer than 8 electrons in the outer most energy level, it will react with other nearby atoms to give, receive or share electrons until it has a full outer shell.

The octet rule refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer eight electrons in their valence shell.

If the atom has less than 8 electrons, the atoms tend to react to form more stable compounds.

The discussion of the octet rule does not consider d or f electrons. It is useful for main group elements because only s and p electrons participate in the octet rule.

Atoms are reacted to be as stable as possible. Complete octets are very stable because all orbitals are full. Since atoms with higher stability have less energy, reactions that increase the stability of atoms release energy in the form of heat or light.

Consider the following three statements: (i) For any electro-magnetic radiation, the product of the wavelength and the frequency

Scilla [17]

Answer:

A and B

Explanation:

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

$c=frequency\times Wavelength$

c is the speed of light having value $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Thus, the product of the wavelength and the frequency is constant and equal to $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Option A is correct.

Given, Frequency = $1\times 10^{18}\ Hz$

Thus, Wavelength is:

$Wavelength=\frac{c}{Frequency}$

$Wavelength=\frac{3\times 10^8}{1\times 10^{18}}\ m$

$Wavelength=3\times 10^{-10}\ m$

Also, 1 m = $3\times 10^{-10}$ Å

So,

Wavelength = 3.0 Å

Option B is correct.

As stated above, the speed of electromagnetic radiation is constant. Hence, each radiation of the spectrum travels with same speed.

Option C is incorrect.

Explain why ventilation is very important if there is risk of exposure to random gas in your home school

Jason walks 20 m East, turns around and 20 m West, Finally, he walks 10 rn North. This takes 20 s. what is Jason's velocity

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

0.5 m/s north

Explanation:

Take east to be +x, west to be -x, north to be +y, and south to be -y.

His displacement in the x direction is:

x = 20 m − 20 m = 0 m

His displacement in the y direction is:

y = 10 m

His total displacement is therefore 10 m north.

His velocity is equal to displacement divided by time.

v = 10 m north / 20 s

v = 0.5 m/s north
