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.

A ray diagram is shown.
Masja [62]

Answer:

Z

Explanation:

The figure represented the ray diagrams produced by a convex (converging lens). The image will appear at the point where the purple ray and the orange ray meet, so at point Z.

As we see from the picture, the image will be:

- Real (because it is behind the lens, and it can be projected on a screen)

- Inverted (the image is upside down)

- Larger than the object (we can see it by noticing that the distance between the point of intersection purple-orange ray and the axis is larger than the size of the object)

What are the phenomena that physics is applied in?
Ratling [72]

Answer:

For empiricists like van Fraassen, the phenomena of physics are the appearances observed or perceived by sensory experience. Constructivists, however, regard the phenomena of physics as artificial structures generated by experimental and mathematical methods.
