<u>Answer:</u>
Carbon and silicon both are tetravalent elements as compared to germanium, tin, and lead which are divalent.
That's because Ge, tin, and Pb show inert pair effect and has a greater nuclear effective charge on the 's' electrons due to poor shielding effect. .That's why these elements are not able to share their valence electrons while carbon and silicon does and show "catenation" which is the ability to form long chain molecules.
For every meter, the equivalent measurements is 1000 millimeters. Hence in the problem where the number of millimeters is given, we divide the number by 1000 to get the number of meters. The answer here is 0.01123 m.
The pressure of the gas used in the weather balloon increases to expand the balloon.
Explanation:
- Weather balloons contain the boxes where the weather measurement instruments are present that is attached to the large balloon.
- Weather balloon uses gases like Hydrogen or Helium. When the weather balloon rises to the atmosphere, the air pressure decreases. This leads to the increase in the pressure of hydrogen or Helium gas used in the weather balloon. This expands the balloon.
- The gas particles hits the balloon container and generates the pressure. The increase of pressure thus helps the weather balloon to move in a constant speed through the atmosphere.
