The 2 indicates the amount of hydrogen there is. In this case there are two atoms of hydrogen. The subscript will correspond to the “letter” (element symbol) right before it.

Answer:

a) Na

c) Na

b) Sr

d) Ca

Explanation:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.

A wave is moving toward the shore If its frequency is 2.7 hertz, what is its wavelength? What would the correct number of signif
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

λ = 1.1×10⁸ m

Explanation:

Given data:

Frequency of wave = 2.7 Hz

Wavelength of wave = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Speed of wave = frequency × wavelength

Speed of wave = 3×10⁸ m/s

now we will put the values in formula.

3×10⁸ m/s = 2.7 s⁻¹ × λ

λ = 3×10⁸ m/s /2.7 s⁻¹

λ = 1.1×10⁸ m
