(A) noble gases / group 18

Effectus [21]2 years ago

6 0

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.

The total pressure for a fluid is a. the sum of the hydrostatic and static pressures. b. the sum of the hydrostatic and dynamic

m_a_m_a [10]

<h2>The option a is most appropriate </h2>

Explanation:

The total pressure due to liquid column at any place is the sum of

( i ) pressure due to liquid column called hydrostatic pressure

( ii ) the pressure due to air column above the liquid column , which is called the static pressure

Thus total pressure is the sum of hydrostatic and static pressure .

Thus the option a is most appropriate

As the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation increases. true or false

KIM [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy and the frequency of electromagnetic radiation inversely proportional to the frequency of radiation.

So, as the wavelength increases, the energy and the frequency decreases.

Plz help don’t understand

timama [110]

Answer:

he at 100k

Explanation:

All particles have energy, and the energy varies depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in, which determines if the substance is a solid, liquid, or gas. Solid particles have the least amount of energy, and gas particles have the greatest amount of energy.

The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles. A change in phase may occur when the energy of the particles is changed.

There are spaces between particles of matter. The average amount of empty space between molecules gets progressively larger as a sample of matter moves from the solid to the liquid and gas phases.

Key Terms

kinetic molecular theory: Theory of treating samples of matter as a large number of small particles (atoms or molecules), all of which are in constant, random motion

kinetic: Of or relating to motion.

lattice: A regular spacing or arrangement of atoms/molecules within a crystal.

phase: A component in a material system that is distinguished by chemical composition and/or physical state. Matter can exist in the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases.

The kinetic molecular theory of matter offers a description of the microscopic properties of atoms (or molecules) and their interactions, leading to observable macroscopic properties (such as pressure, volume, temperature). An application of the theory is that it helps to explain why matter exists in different phases (solid, liquid, and gas) and how matter can change from one phase to the next.

All particles have energy, but the energy varies depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in. This in turn determines whether the substance exists in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state. Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy.

A car is going south on I-69 at 33 m/s (74 mph). The car has good brakes so its maximum braking acceleration is – 8.5 m/s^2 . Tr

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

1.69515 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-33^2}{2\times -8.5}\\\Rightarrow s=64.06\ m$

The distance between the traffic and the car after braking is 120-64.06 = 55.94 m

Time = Distance / Speed

$\text{Time}=\frac{55.94}{33}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time}=1.69515\ seconds$

The reaction time cannot be more than 1.69515 seconds

What is needed to set a body in motion

kumpel [21]

Answer:

Newtons law

Explanation:

According to this law, a body at rest tends to stay at rest, and a body in motion tends to stay in motion, unless acted on by a net external force.
