Which metal in Period 5 is very reactive and has two valence electrons in each atom?

2 answers:

8 0

The answer is Strontium(Sr). The reactive increase from right to left. And this element has two valence electrons. So Rb is not correct. Then the very reactive metal is Sr.

Answer: The correct answer is Strontium.

Explanation:

Reactivity of an element is defined as the tendency to loose or gain electrons. Reactivity decreases as we move from left to right in a period and it increases as we move from up to down in a group.

A metal which belongs to Period 5 and has 2 valance electrons is Strontium. This element belongs to Group 2.

The electronic configuration of strontium (Sr) = $[Kr]5s^2$

Hence, the correct answer is Strontium.

A car takes a sharp turn on a road. Which of the following provides the centripetal force on the car?

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

The centripetal force causing the car to turn in a circular path is due to friction between the tires and the road. A minimum coefficient of friction is needed, or the car will move in a larger-radius curve and leave the roadway.

Plete the following problems significant figures: 6 × 0.30

jeka57 [31]

6= Only the digits 1 and 6 are the actual measured values. Therefore we have only 2 significant figures.

0.3= Zeros used as placeholders are not significant. Zeros that come before non-zero integers are never significant. Example 5: The zeros in 098, 0.3, and 0.000000000389 are not significant because they are all in front of non-zero integers. c. If the zeros come after non-zero integers and are followed by a decimal point, the zeros are significant.
