You can look at groups in the same group (the columns), since they tend to have similar properties. For example, the alkali metals in group one react aggressively with water and form white compounds.

Answer:

By checking the properties of elements with the same atomic number as the unstable elements.

Explanation:

For elements that are unstable but have known number of electrons or protons, their chemistry can be inferred from the periodic table by comparing them with elements with similar number of electrons or protons.

<em>Elements with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons are referred to as isotopes.</em> They usually have the similar properties except that they have different number of neutrons and hence, different atomic mass.

Since the number of proton determines the atomic number of elements, such element's properties can be inferred by checking the properties of elements with the same atomic number on the periodic table.

The distance from Earth to the star Epsilon Eridani is about 10.5 light years. Which of the following statements is true?
Simora [160]
<span>The correct answer is B. - It would take a ray of light 10.5 light years to travel from Earth to Epsilon Eridani, or vice-versa. Using our current technology it would take far longer than 21.0 years for a space ship from Earth to travel that far - I would have to guess many hundreds of years.</span>

Humans obtain energy in a number of different ways. About half of the electrical energy in the U.S. is generated by burning coal
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

C. Burning coal tends to harm the environment more than using solar panels.

Explanation:

When coal is burned, it reacts with the oxygen in the air. This reaction converts the stored potential energy, which turns into thermal energy, which is released as heat. But it also produces methane and carbon dioxide which is released into the air.

The current in a hair dryer measures 15 amps. The resistance of the hair dryer is 14 ohms. What is the voltage?
ZanzabumX [31]
We have that there is a formula connecting these three. V=I*R where V is voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. Substituting, we get that V=210 Volta, which is the unit of measurement for voltage. You can think of the relationship in the following way : The energy of the field is equal to the flow of the field times the resistance that it meets.
