 <span>The </span>octet rule<span> is a chemical </span>rule<span> of thumb that reflects observation that atoms of main-group elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.

Answer:

The wavelength of the radio wave is 3.003 m.

The energy of the radio wave is 6.6194\times 10^{-26} J.

Explanation:

Frequency of the radio waves, ν = 99.9 MHz = 99.9\times 10^6 Hz

Wavelength and frequency are related to each other by realtion:

\lambda =\frac{c}{\nu }

\lambda = Wavelength of the wave

c = speed of the light

ν = Frequency of the wave

\lambda =\frac{3\times 10^8 m/s}{99.9\times 10^6 s^{-1}}=3.003 m

The wavelength of the radio wave is 3.003 m.

The energy of the electromagnetic wave is given by Planck's equation:

E=h\times \nu

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34} Js

The energy of the radio wave with 99.9 MHz frequency will be:

E=6.626\times 10^{-34} Js\times 99.9\times 10^6 s^{-1}

E = 6.6194\times 10^{-26} J

The energy of the radio wave is 6.6194\times 10^{-26} J.

Answer:

Option A. Double Replacement

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is a kind of reaction in which there is an exchange of the ions of the two reactants to form a different products. In the equation, K in KOH displaces H in H3PO4 to form K3PO4 and also, the H combines with OH to form water.

H3PO4+3KOH -> K3PO4+3H20
