The answer is A), 'the smaller the number of electrons an atom has to borrow or to lend, the greater the activity of the atom'.
Troyanec [42]4 years ago

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.

Smaller is need for valence electrons to be borrowed or to lend more is the reactivity of an atom.

For example, atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic distribution is 2, 7.

So, it just needs one more electron in order to gain stability. Therefore, it will be highly reactive in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that the smaller the number of electrons an atom has to borrow or to lend, the greater the activity of the atom, accurately describes properties of valence.

A 7.7 kg sphere makes a perfectly inelastic collision with a second sphere initially at rest. The composite system moves with a
klemol [59]

Answer:

15.4 kg.

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

mu+m'u' = V(m+m').................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the first sphere, m' = mass of the second sphere, u = initial velocity of the first sphere, u' = initial velocity of the second sphere, V = common velocity of both sphere.

Given: m = 7.7 kg, u' = 0 m/s (at rest)

Let: u = x m/s, and V = 1/3x m/s

Substitute into equation 1

7.7(x)+m'(0) = 1/3x(7.7+m')

7.7x = 1/3x(7.7+m')

7.7 = 1/3(7.7+m')

23.1 = 7.7+m'

m' = 23.1-7.7

m' = 15.4 kg.

Hence the mass of the second sphere = 15.4 kg

Un cubo de madera de densidad 0.780 g/cm³ mide 11.2 cm en un lado. Cuando se coloca en agua, ¿qué altura del bloque flotará sobr
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

2.464 cm above the water surface

Explanation:

Recall that for the cube to float, means that the volume of water displaced weights the same as the weight of the block.

We calculate the weight of the block multiplying its density (0.78 gr/cm^3) times its volume (11.2^3  cm^3):

weight of the block = 0.78 * 11.2^3  gr

Now the displaced water will have a volume equal to the base of the cube (11.2 cm^2) times the part of the cube (x) that is under water. Recall as well that the density of water is 1 gr/cm^3.

So the weight of the volume of water displaced is:

weight of water = 1 * 11.2^2 * x

we make both weight expressions equal each other for the floating requirement:

0.78 * 11.2^3 = 11.2^2 * x

then x = 0.78 * 11.2 cm = 8.736 cm

This "x" is the portion of the cube under water. Then to estimate what is left of the cube above water, we subtract it from the cube's height (11.2 cm) as follows:

11.2 cm - 8.736 cm = 2.464 cm

A furlong is an old british unit of length equal to 0.125 mi, derived from the length of a furrow in an acre of ploughed land. a
castortr0y [4]

The speed of light is: c = 3x10^8 m/s <span>

or 

c = 186,000,000 miles/sec = 1.86x10^8 mi/s 

1 furlong = 0.125 mile 

1 fortnight = 2 weeks(7d/wk)(24h/d)(3600s/h) 
= 1209600s = 1.2096x10^6 s 

Therefore, 

c =1.86x10^8 mi/s(1furl/0.125mi)(1.2096x10^6s/fort) 

<span>c = 18x10^14 furlong/fortnight = 18x10^8 Mfurlong/fortnight</span></span>

If the net torque is zero, what does this imply about the clockwise and counterclockwise torques.
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Explanation:

When two forces acting on a line of action and they are equal in magnitude but opposite it direction, it forms a couple.

Torque is defined as the product of either force and the perpendicular distance between the two forces.

It is a vector quantity.

The net torque is zero, it means the anticlockwise torque is equal to the clockwise torque.

It means they balances each other.

Sound travels slowest through gas because the atoms in a gas are further apart than the other states of matter.
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

If they were farther apart they would be able to slip by through which means that it can go by faster. If the atoms where closer together then yes they would be able to go by slower.
