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.

Pendulum A has a bob of mass m hung from the string of length L; pendulum B is identical to A except its bob has the length 2L.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

$f_{B}: f_{A} = \sqrt{\frac{2}{1}}$

Explanation:

For pendulum A: Length = L and gravity = g

The frequency of pendulum A is given by

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}$

Here, f is the frequency, L be the length

$f_{A} = \frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}$ ... (1)

For pendulum B: Length = 2L, gravity = g

The frequency of pendulum B is given by

$f_{B} = \frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{g}{2L}}$ .... (2)

Divide equation (1) by (2)

$f_{B}: f_{A} = \sqrt{\frac{2}{1}}$

10 turns of wire are closely wound around a pencil as shown in the figure. when measured using a scale as shown, the length of t

Mila [183]

Answer:

a. The thickness of the wire is 2.5 mm.

b. The wire is 0.25 cm thick.

Explanation:

Number of turns of the wire = 10

The length of total turns = 25 mm

a. The thickness of the wire can be determined by;

thickness of the wire = $\frac{length of total turns}{number of turns}$

= $\frac{25}{10}$

= 2.5 mm

Therefore, the wire is 2.5 mm thick.

b. To determine the thickness of the wire in centimetre;

10 mm = 1 cm

So that,

2.5 mm = x

x = $\frac{2.5}{10}$

= 0.25 cm

The wire is 0.25 cm thick.
