Answer:  Atomic radius of sodium is greater than lithim,which allows sodium to loose electron easily than lithium. electropositivity and mettalic character increases as we move along the group or top to bottom . this is the reason why sodium is more reactive than lithium .

Answer:

Sodium is more reactive than lithium because as we move down a group it is easy to lose electrons as the number of shells increases and nuclear charge decreases. As valence electrons take part in chemical reaction and its easier to lose electrons as we move down a group chemical reactivity increases. Therefore, sodium is more reactive than lithium.

Why knowing the density of water important?? explain why please so I can understand it don’t copy for the internet I won’t under
Mkey [24]

Answer:

it allows us to determine whether objects will float or sink when placed in a liquid or even a gas.

Explanation:

For example, In an oil spill in the ocean, the oil rises to the top because it is less dense than water, creating an oil slick on the surface of the ocean. A Styrofoam cup is less dense than a ceramic cup, so the Styrofoam cup will float in water and the ceramic cup will sink.

Henry finds an element that is light blue, breaks easily in his hand, and does not reflect light. How should Henry classify the
pshichka [43]

Answer:

The options are not given, here are the options.

metal

a. Metal

b. a metalloid

c. a non-metal

d. a gas

The correct option is C.

Non metal

Explanation:

Henry should classify it as non metals because non metals are substances or elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity they break easily I .e meaning they lack the ducibility of metals, meaning they cannot be stretched, they are brittle, they are not shiny and does not reflect light, they have high electronegativities that is they have atoms that can hold electrons to what they have.

Answer : Option (A) Accelerator 2 model has the lowest percentage of energy lost as waste.

Solution : Given,

For Accelerator 1 model,

Input energy = 2078.3 J

Wasted energy = 663.1 J

Output energy = 1415.2 J

For Accelerator 2 model,

Input energy = 7690.0 J

Wasted energy = 2337.5 J

Output energy = 5353.5 J

For Accelerator 3 model,

Input energy = 4061.9 J

Wasted energy = 2259.6 J

Output energy = 1802.3 J

Formula used for lowest percentage of energy lost as waste is:

% energy lost as waste = (Total energy wasted / Total input energy )  ×  100

For Accelerator 1 model,

% energy lost as waste = \frac{663.1}{2078.3}\times100 = 31.90%

For Accelerator 2 model,

% energy lost as waste = \frac{2337.5}{7690.0}\times100 = 30.39%

For Accelerator 3 model,

% energy lost as waste = \frac{2259.6}{4061.9}\times100 = 55.62%

So, we conclude that the Accelerator 2 model has the lowest percentage of energy lost as waste.
