Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter D.

Explanation:

Noble gases are located in group VIIIA of the periodic table, this means that they have 8 eight electrons in their outermost shell.

Due to this characteristic, they are stable and do not react with other elements.

a. 1s22s22p4    The outermost shell of this electron configuration has 6 electrons, then this element has 6 electrons not 8. This configuration is of an element of the group VIA.

b. [Ne]2s22p2  The outermost shell of this element has 4 electrons, so this is not the configuration of a noble gas.

c. [Ar] 3s1  This element only has one electron in its outermost shell, so this is the electron configuration of an alkaline metal.

d. 1s22s22p6 This element has 8 electrons in its outermost shell, so this is the electron configuration of a noble gas.

Find the horizontal range of a projectile launched at 15 degrees to the horizontal with speed of 40m/s​
vfiekz [6]

To Find :

The horizontal range of a projectile launched at 15 degrees to the horizontal with speed of 40 m/s​.

Solution :

The horizontal range of a projectile is given by :

R = \dfrac{u^2 sin 2\theta}{g} ( Here, g is acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s² )

Putting all value in above equation :

R = \dfrac{40^2 \times sin (2 \times 15)}{10} \ m\\\\R = \dfrac{1600 \times 1}{2\times 10} \ m\\\\R = 80 \ m

Therefore, the horizontal range of projectile is 80 m.

The elements silicon (atomic number 14) and chlorine (atomic number 17) are both in Period 3. Which is the more reactive element
Svetlanka [38]

Answer;

-Chlorine is more reactive than silicon

Explanation;

-As you move across a period, the nuclear charge will increase; the number of energy levels will stay the same, so there is a stronger and stronger attraction for the electrons.

-The electrons are being held more tightly as you move across a period. It becomes more and more difficult to lose electrons and consequently the reactivity of non metals increases as you go from left to right across the periodic table; Therefore; chlorine is more reactive than silicon.
