It behaves more like a metal

Explanation:

When an element tends to lose its valence electrons in chemical reactions, they behave more like a metal.

Metals are electropositive.

Electropositivity or metallicity is the a measure of the tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons.

This is closely related to ionization energy and the electronegativity of the element.

  • The lower the ionization energy of an element, the more electropositive or metallic the element is .

Metals are usually large size and prefers to be in reactions where they can easily lose their valence electrons.

When most metals lose their valence electrons, they attain stability.

Non-metals are electronegative. They prefer to gain electrons.

I’m which medium does sound travel fastest railroad track or across the room
blondinia [14]
The closer the particles, the more will be the propogation of sound waves. Room contains air molecules which are far away from each other. So it takes much time for one molecule of air to disturb the other one. But in case of solids, as particles are much closer(compared to fluids), disturbance generated by one molecule is quickly transmitted to the next molecule

Coherent light with wavelength 599 nm passes through two very narrow slits with separation of 20 μm, and the interference patter
goblinko [34]

Answer:

134.77 mm

Explanation:

Wave length of light λ = 599 x 10⁻⁹ m

Slit separation d = 20 x 10⁻⁶ m

Screen distance D = 3 m

Distance of second dark fringe from centre

= 1.5 x λ D / d  

Putting the  values given above

distance = \frac{1.5\times599\times10^{-9}\times 3}{20\times10^{-6}}

= 134.77 x 10⁻³ m

= 134.77 mm.
