Elements in the same group share the same number of valence electrons.
You will need a periodic table to help you answer this problem. The atomic numbers are arrange from lowest to highest in the periodic table. You can locate element number 55 to be Cesium with an atomic weight of 132.905 amu. So, you start from element 56. The following elements are:
56 Barium 137.328 amu
57 Lanthanium 138.905 amu
58 Cerium 140.116 amu
59 <span>Praseodymium 140.908 amu
60 Neodymium 144.243 amu
Neodymium is already greater than 144 amu. Therefore, these elements only include Barium, Lanthanium, Cerium and Praseodymium.</span>
It is important to have the correct bond angles of the different atoms and the shape of the molecule due to following reasons;
Among other properties the polarity of compounds mainly depend upon the shape and bond angles of that particular compound. For example, considering the molecule of water, we already know that it is a polar molecule with partially positive hydrogen atoms and partially negative oxygen atoms and acts as universal solvent. The bond angle in water is about 104.5° with a Bent geometry. Unlike carbon dioxide (CO₂) which has Linear structure with bond angle 180° and is non-polar in nature therefore, the bent geometry in water is responsible for the polarity.
Other properties which can also be predicted by predicting the bond angles along with molecular geometries are;
i) Magnetism
ii) Phase of matter
iii) Color
iv) Reactivity
v) Biological activities <em>e.t.c</em>
Time taken = 3 hours
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
speed : 75 mph
distance : 225 miles
Required
time taken
Solution
An equation of constant velocity motion
d = distance = m
v = speed = m / s
t = time = seconds
Input the value :
t = d : v
t = 225 miles : 75 miles/hour
t = 3 hours
Ms ( mass of solute): 33,6g
mss (mass of solution): 33,6+192g = 225,6g

C = ms/mss × 100%
C = 33.6/225.6 × 100%
C = 14,89% ≈ 14,9%
