Answer: D. Mg

Explanation:

Chemical reactivity is defined as the tendency of an element to loose of gain electrons.

Metals are the elements which lose electrons and hence, their chemical reactivity will be the tendency to lose electrons.

Their chemical reactivity increases as we move top to bottom in a group because the valence shell come gets far away from the nucleus. Thus, the loss of electron from the valence shell becomes easier due to lesser attraction between nucleus and valence electron.

Their chemical reactivity decreases as we move from left to right in a period .As, the electrons get added up in the same shell, the electron in the outermost orbital gets near to the nucleus. And hence, the electron will be difficult to lose.Thus, the chemical reactivity of metals decreases.

For the given options:

Potassium(K) belongs to Group 1 and period 4 of the periodic table.

Calcium (Ca) belongs to Group 2 and period 4 of the periodic table.

Sodium (Na)belongs to Group 1 and Period 3 of the periodic table.

Magnesium (Mg) belongs to Group 2 and Period 3 of the periodic table.

Order of reactivity of metals follow:

K>Ca>Na>Mg

Thus the LEAST reactive metal is Magnesium.

Calculate the pressure exerted by an book of mass 20kg occupying an area of 2 m square.​
kotykmax [81]

The answer is 100 Pa.

The formula for calculating pressure is :

<u>Pressure = Force ÷ Area</u>

<u />

We are given that :

  • mass = 20 kg
  • area = 2 m²

We also know that :

<u>Force = mass ×g</u>

<u />

So, force will be :

  • F = 20 × 10
  • F = 200 N

Now, we can finally calculate pressure :

  • P = 200 ÷ 2
  • P = 100 Pa

d perovskite single crystals with suppressed ion migration for high-performance planar-type photodetectors, small
Naily [24]

Due to their improved charge transfer and great environmental stability, 2D Dion-Jacobson (DJ) perovskites have recently received a lot of attention.

Unfortunately, due to the scarcity of high-quality single crystals for precise measurements, their fundamental optoelectronic capabilities are mainly unknown. Here, a reactive, low-temperature-gradient crystallization method is created using 1,4-butanediammonium as a short-chain insulating spacer to generate high-quality 2D perovskite single crystal (BDAPbI4). It is discovered that the BDAPbI4 single crystal exhibits a direct bandgap with effective charge collection (μτ = 1.45 × 10−3 cm2 V−1). The BDAPbI4 single crystal in particular exhibits the expected high ion migration activation energy (0.88 eV).
