Calcium must lose two electrons to get a full outer shell. what is the name of the group to which calcium belongs

1 answer:

4 0

The answer to this question would be: alkaline earth metal

Alkali earth metal is the second column group of the periodic table. In this group, the element has 2 extra electrons in their outer cells. That is why most of this metal has 2+ charge.
Their neighbor is the alkali metal which was the first column of the periodic table. The name is similar so don't confused and mix them each other.

When you combine chocolate powder and milk, the result is best describe as?

NeX [460]

Answer:

The answer to your question would be substance, but chocolate power mixed into milk would be more of a suspension.

Explanation:

Neither chocolate powder nor milk are elements. They are both complex molecules. Their mixture will not result in the formation of a compound since no chemical reaction will take place.

The molecules of the chocolate powder will simply intermingle with the fatty molecules of the milk to form the substance.

When thoroughly mixed the solution will become homogeneous so there will be no lumps of chocolate power visible. But after time, the chocolate will become visible at the bottom of the clear container in which we asked you to prepare the mixture.

Answer : Option (A) Accelerator 2 model has the lowest percentage of energy lost as waste.

Solution : Given,

For Accelerator 1 model,

Input energy = 2078.3 J

Wasted energy = 663.1 J

Output energy = 1415.2 J

For Accelerator 2 model,

Input energy = 7690.0 J

Wasted energy = 2337.5 J

Output energy = 5353.5 J

For Accelerator 3 model,

Input energy = 4061.9 J

Wasted energy = 2259.6 J

Output energy = 1802.3 J

Formula used for lowest percentage of energy lost as waste is:

% energy lost as waste = (Total energy wasted / Total input energy ) × 100

For Accelerator 1 model,

% energy lost as waste = $\frac{663.1}{2078.3}\times100$ = 31.90%

For Accelerator 2 model,

% energy lost as waste = $\frac{2337.5}{7690.0}\times100$ = 30.39%

For Accelerator 3 model,

% energy lost as waste = $\frac{2259.6}{4061.9}\times100$ = 55.62%

So, we conclude that the Accelerator 2 model has the lowest percentage of energy lost as waste.
