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.

Calculate the maximum capillary rise/fall of mercury in a 0.5 mm radius glass capillary. Assume that the surface tension for mer

tekilochka [14]

Answer: 0.01 m

Explanation: The formulae for capillarity rise or fall is given below as

h = (2T×cosθ)/rpg

Where θ = angle mercury made with glass = 50°

T = surface tension = 0.51 N/m

g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²

r = radius of tube = 0.5mm = 0.0005m

p = density of mercury.

h = height of rise or fall

From the question, specific gravity of density = 13.3

Where specific gravity = density of mercury/ density of water, where density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Hence density of mercury = 13.3×1000 = 13,300 kg/m³.

By substituting parameters, we have that

h = 2×0.51×cos 50/0.0005×9.8×13,300

h = 0.6556/65.17

h = 0.01 m

When three identical bulbs of 60W,200V rating are connected in series at a 200V supply the power drawn by them will be?

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

P = 180 [w]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use ohm's law, which is defined by the following formula.

V = I*R & P = V*I

where:

V = voltage = 200[volts]

I = current [amp]

R = resistance [ohm]

P = power [watts]

Since the bulbs are connected in series, the powers should be summed

P = 60 + 60 + 60

P = 180 [watts]

Now we can calculate the current

I = 180/200

I = 0.9[amp]

Attached is an image where we see the three bulbs connected in series, in the circuit we see that the current is the same for all the elements connected to the circuit.

And the power is defined by P = V*I

we know that the voltage is equal to 200[V], therefore

P = 200*0.9

P = 180 [w]
