It takes more energy to remove the second electron from a lithium atom than it does to remove the fourth electron from a carbon atom because its inner core e, not valence e. C's 4th removed e is still a valence e. And also <span>because more nuclear charge acting on the second electron, it is more close to the nucleus, thus the the protons attract it more than the 4th electron.</span>

The energy required to remove second electron from lithium is more as compared to removing fourth electron from carbon

EXPLANATION:

The amount of energy required to remove an electron from an isolated atom is called as ionization energy of the electron.

The second ionization energy of lithium atom is more as compared to fourth ionization energy of carbon atom. It is so because the second electron which is to be emitted from the K-shell of lithium atom, is tightly bound by the nucleus as the orbit is very closer to the nucleus.

In case of carbon, the fourth electron is present in the valence shell.The radius of valence shell is not so close as compared to lithium.The screening effect is also more for carbon as compared to lithium.

Hence, the energy required to remove a second electron from lithium is more that the energy required to remove fourth electron from carbon.

Which of the following ocean motions are powered by the wind? waves tides surface currents deep ocean currents
Effectus [21]

At the entrance of most beaches, there is a bulletin board with notices about water conditions: maybe a faded sign warning about rip currents and a list of this week's tide tables. Most people pass them by without a second thought, but if you want to enter the ocean, it is important to know its movements, whether to avoid being caught in a riptide or to figure out when the waves will be at their best.


Hope this helps

Predict changes in state according to change in particle motion. Know the vocabulary used to describe changes of state.
ziro4ka [17]

The change in the state of matter causes change in the motion of the particles of the matter. The gaseous state of matter has the greatest speed while the solid state has the least speed.

The change in state of every matter is accompanied by lost or gained of energy.

Example is water.

The solid state of water is ice. The motion of particles of the water is relatively zero because the molecules are held at a fixed position.

The liquid state of water occurs when the temperature of the ice is increased above zero degree Celsius. The speed of the particles of water in liquid state is greater than solid state.

The gaseous state of water occurs when the temperature of the liquid water is increased beyond 100 degree Celsius. The speed of water in gaseous state is greater than liquid state.

With respect to the earth, object 1 is moving at speed 0.80 c to the right. Object 2 is moving in the same direction at speed 0.
viktelen [127]

Answer:

0.976 c

Explanation:

v_{1e} = velocity of object 1 relative to earth = 0.80 c

v_{21} = velocity of object 2 relative to object 1 = 0.80 c

v_{2e} = velocity of object 2 relative to earth

Velocity of object 2 relative to earth is given as

v_{2e}= \frac{v_{1e} + v_{21}}{1 + \frac{v_{1e}v_{21}}{c^{2}}}

v_{2e}= \frac{0.80 c + 0.80 c}{1 + \frac{(0.80c)(0.80c)}{c^{2}}}

v_{2e} = 0.976 c
