<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u><em>According to formula, magnesium gives electron forming a cation which is the property of metals according to periodic table.</em></u>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Mg has a valency of two electrons which means it has two electron in the valence shell. It gives two electrons to an oxygen atom which becomes a anion.
  • They form two ionic bond forming MgO.
  • And the atoms of valency two are present in 2nd column which contains metals.
  • Hence from formula, it can be known that Mg is a metal.

An archer pulls her bowstring back 0.370 m by exerting a force that increases uniformly from zero to 264 N. (a) What is the equi
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

713.51 N/m

Explanation:

Hook's Law: This law states that provided the elastic limit is not exceeded, the extension in an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force.

From hook's law,

F = ke ...........................Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted on the bowstring, e = Extension/compression of the bowstring, k = Spring constant of the bow.

Make k the subject of the equation,

k = F/e ............................ Equation 2

Given: F = 264 N, e = 0.37 m.

Substitute into equation 2

k = 264/0.37

k = 713.51 N/m

Hence the spring constant of the bow  = 713.51 N/m

<h2><u>Answer</u> :</h2>

The most appropriate option is :

\hookrightarrow \bf2. \:  \mathrm{ \underline{oxygen \:  \: and \:  \: silicon}}

Since, they are the most abundant elements found in Earth's Crust.

  • Oxygen (46%)

  • Silicon (28%)

Part b an "empty" container is not really empty if it contains air. how may moles of nitrogen are in an "empty" two-liter cola b
Sedbober [7]
<span>6.38x10^-2 moles
       First, let's determine how many moles of gas particles are in the two-liter container. The molar volume for 1 mole at 25C and 1 atmosphere is 24.465 liters/mole. So
   2 L / 24.465 L/mol = 0.081749438 mol
       Now air doesn't just consist of nitrogen. It also has oxygen, carbon dioxide, argon, water vapor, etc. and the total number of moles includes all of those other gasses. So let's multiply by the percentage of nitrogen in the atmosphere which is 78%
    0.081749438 mol * 0.78 = 0.063764562 mol.
        Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 6.38x10^-2 moles</span>
