Explain the difference in reactivity of the elements based on their electron configurations.

Physics
1 answer:
victus00 [196]3 years ago
5 0

Well a basic explanation is that some elements have enough electrons to be considered stable. These elements do not need to react with other elements to gain more electrons. Reactive elements are no where near stable; they respond with other elements in order to become stable. The more unstable, the harsher the reaction is.

If you add 1 proton to Carbon, it will no longer be Carbon, it will be ________________.
Whitepunk [10]

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Adding one proton to a carbon atom makes Nitrogen.

A quick introspection on atoms:

  • An atom is made up of three fundamental particles.
  • They are protons, neutrons and electrons.
  • The protons are positively charged and the neutrons do not carry any charges.
  • Electrons are negatively charged.

The difference between an atom and another is the number of protons in them. This is the atomic number.

The periodic table of element is a list of elements arranged based on the number of protons they have. Every element on the table has unique number of protons which makes it differ from another.

  • Atoms do not readily lose their protons because they are held by nuclear forces in the nucleus of an atom.

When an element gains a proton, it becomes another element.

    Carbon has proton number of 6

 If a proton is added to it, it becomes 7

This is the proton or atomic number of nitrogen.

A book is sitting on a desk. What best describes the normal force acting on the book?​
maxonik [38]

Gravitational force is the result of the earth pulling down on the book, so the normal force is best described as the earth or more accurately the table pushing up on the book

The charge on the square plates of a parallel-plate capacitor is Q. The potential across the plates is maintained with constant
jasenka [17]

Answer:

D) Q/2

Explanation:

The amount of charge on a capacitor is given by:

Q = CV

where

C is the capacitance

V is the voltage

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by

C=\epsilon_0 \frac{A}{d}

where

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

Substituting the last formula into the first one, we can write

Q=\epsilon_0 \frac{AV}{d}

In this problem, the two plates are pulled apart to twice their original separation, so

d' = 2d

While the voltage V is kept constant. Therefore, the new charge stored in the capacitor will be

Q'=\epsilon_0 \frac{AV}{2d}=\frac{1}{2} \epsilon_0 \frac{AV}{d}=\frac{Q}{2}

A horizontal disk with a radius of 23 m rotates about a vertical axis through its center. The disk starts from rest and has a co
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

time is 0.42 sec

Explanation:

Given data

radius = 23 m

angular acceleration = 5.7 rad/s²

to find out

time

solution

we know that radius is constant so that

tangential acceleration At = angular acceleration × radius   ............. 1

tangential acceleration =  5.7 × 23 = 131.1 m/s²

and

radial acceleration Ar =  (angular velocity)² × radius    ........................2

we consider angular velocity = ω

this is acting toward center

so

compare 1 and 2

At = Ar

5.7 r =ω³ r

ω = √5.7 = 2.38746 rad/s

so

ω = 5.7 t

2.387 = 5.7 t

t =  2.387 / 5.7

t = 0.4187

time is 0.42 sec
