This is due to the difference in density. The rock is denser than the leaf. And also, the rock is denser than the liquid in the pond. If the material is denser than the other material, it will sink. The same holds true for the rock, it sinks. But when the material is less dense than the other material, it floats. And it holds true for the leaf, it floats.

Describe the properties of alkali metals. Based on their electronic arrangement, explain whether they exist alone in nature.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

- They are highly reactive metals

- They have low electro negativity

- They have low ionization energy

- They don't exist alone in nature

- They have low densities

Explanation:

Alkali metals are the elements in group 1 of the periodic table. They include Sodium, Lithium, Potassium e.t.c.

Due to the fact they have one atom in their outermost shell, they are very unstable because they easily react with other elements and are therefore don't exist alone in nature but combined with other elements for this same reason.

Since alkali metals don't easily attract other elements due to it's lone pair in the outer most shell, it can be said to have low electro negativity.

Also, they don't need energy to discharge their electrons since they are highly reactive due to their lone pair in the outermost shell and so we say they have low ionization energy.

Due to this reason, they also have low densities.

Fluorine (F) has seven electrons in its outermost shell. Fluorine _____.
kow [346]
Fluorine is a nonmetal and as such it would need to take in or obtain an electron from a metal to have a stable octet, or full number of 8 electrons in its valence shell. Thus due to the indifference of electrons and protons it becomes an anion, a negatively charged ion.

Use dimensional analysis to convert 14.5mi/hr to km/s
Liula [17]

Answer:

0.006 48 km/s

Explanation:

1. Convert miles to kilometres

14.5 mi × (1.609 km/1 mi) = 23.33 km

2. Convert hours to seconds

1 h × (60 min/1h) × (60 s/1 min) = 3600 s

3. Divide the distance by the time

14.5 mi/1 h = 23.3 km/3600 s = 0.006 48 km/s
