Answer: A) noble

Explanation:

Noble gases are group 18 elements which have completely filled valence shell. thus they do not lose or gain electrons and are called as nonreactive or noble.

Electron configuration of radon is:

$Rn:[Xe]4f^{14}5d^{10}6s^26p^6$

Halogens are group 17 elements and have a valency of 1 as they can gain one electron to attain stable configuration.

Group 1 elements are alkali metals which have a valency of 1 as they can lose their outermost electron to attain stable configuration.

Diatomic means the molecule contains two atoms in one molecule.

If a car increases its velocity from zero to 60 m/s in 10 seconds, its acceleration is

andrezito [222]

We know that a=vf_vi/t equals equation "a" . Where a is the acceleration of the body , vf is the final velocity , vi is the initial velocity and t is equal to time . Since vi equals o m/s , vf equals to 60 m/s and t equals 10 s. Put in equation "a". a=60-0/10 =6m/s2

A sound wave traveling downward with a speed of about 4,000 m/s suddenly slows to 1,500 m/s not far below the Earth’s surface. W

<h2>Answer: an underground lake</h2>

Explanation:

In general, sound (mechanical waves) travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. This is because <u>the speed of the mechanical waves is determined by a relationship between the elastic properties of the medium </u>in which they are propagated and the mass per unit volume of the medium (that is:<u>density</u>).

In other words: The speed of sound varies depending on the medium through which the sound waves travel.

So, if we are told the sound wave initially had a speed of 4,000 m/s and it suddenly decreases to 1,500 m/s, this means the sound waves passed from a solid medium to a liquid medium.

Hence, the correct option is: an underground lake.
