Answer is: selenium (Se).

Black selenium (allotrope modification) is irregular, complex, brittle and lustrous solid.

The commercial use for selenium is glassmaking.

Selenium is an element (nonmetal) with atomic number 34 (34 protons and 34 electrons)-

Electronic configuration of selenium atom: ₃₄Se 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁴.

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Metals are malleable and ductile whereas non-metals are brittle in nature.

Out of the given options cobalt, platinum and zinc are all metals except selenium which is a non-metal.

Being a non-metal, selenium is brittle in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that selenium is likely to be the most brittle out of the given options.

Where is the type of force a person stands on the floor and his weight is 752 in in the pressure exerted from his feet on the fl
ladessa [460]

Answer:

0.084m^2

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

W (weight) = F (force) = 752N

P (pressure) = 9002Pa

Recall:

101325Pa = 101325N/m2

Therefore, 9002Pa = 9002N/m2

Pressure exerted on an object is simply force per unit area. It is represented mathematically as:

Pressure = Force /Area

With the above formula, we can easily find the area as follow:

Pressure = Force /Area

P = F/A

9002 = 752/A

Cross multiply to express in linear form

9002 x A = 752

Divide both side by 9002

A = 752/9002

A = 0.084m^2

Therefore, the area of his feet is 0.084m^2
