Little is known of the language's prehistory, or when it first appeared in Japan. Chinese documents from the 3rd century recorded a few Japanese words, but substantial texts did not appear until the 8th century. During the Heian period (794–1185), Chinese had considerable influence on the vocabulary and phonology of Old Japanese. Late Middle Japanese (1185–1600) included changes in features that brought it closer to the modern language, and the first appearance of European loanwords. The standard dialect moved from the Kansai region to the Edo (modern Tokyo) region in the Early Modern Japanese period (early 17th century–mid-19th century). Following the end in 1853 of Japan's self-imposed isolation, the flow of loanwords from European languages increased significantly. English loanwords, in particular, have become frequent, and Japanese words from English roots have proliferated.
Japanese is an agglutinative, mora-timed language with simple phonotactics, a pure vowel system, phonemic vowel and consonant length, and a lexically significant pitch-accent. Word order is normally subject–object–verb with particles marking the grammatical function of words, and sentence structure is topic–comment. Sentence-final particles are used to add emotional or emphatic impact, or make questions. Nouns have no grammatical number or gender, and there are no articles. Verbs are conjugated, primarily for tense and voice, but not person. Japanese equivalents of adjectives are also conjugated. Japanese has a complex system of honorifics with verb forms and vocabulary to indicate the relative status of the speaker, the listener, and persons mentioned.
Japanese has no genetic relationship with Chinese,[3] but it makes extensive use of Chinese characters, or kanji (漢字), in its writing system, and a large portion of its vocabulary is borrowed from Chinese. Along with kanji, the Japanese writing system primarily uses two syllabic (or moraic) scripts, hiragana (ひらがな or 平仮名) and katakana (カタカナ or 片仮名). Latin script is used in a limited fashion, such as for imported acronyms, and the numeral system uses mostly Arabic numerals alongside traditional Chinese numerals.
when it comes to adding or subtracting numbers, his final answer should have the same number of decimal places as the least precise value.
For example if you add 2 numbers; 10.443 + 3.5 , 10.443 has 3 decimal places and 3.5 has only one decimal place.
Therefore 3.5 is the less precise value.
So when adding these 2 values the final answer should have only one decimal place.
after adding we get 13.943 but it can have upto one decimal place. then the second decimal place is less than 5 so the answer should be rounded off to 13.9.
the answer is the same number of decimal places as the least precise value
It depends on the location on the periodic table and if it is easier to loose are gain electrons to fill the valence electron shell.
The electron affinity of the neutral atom of the element can show indicate whether or not the element is going the make positive or negative ions. The higher the electron affinity is, the more the neutral atom wants to gain electrons. The electron affinity for alkali metals and alkaline earth metals are low due to the fact that they are located on the left of the periodic table and only needs to loose 1 or 2 electrons to have a completed valence shell. That means that they want to form cations (loose electrons). Halogens have a high electron affinity since they are located on the right of the periodic table and only have to gain 1 electron to get a completed valence electron configuration. That means that it forms anions.
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
Keep in mind that atomic number is the number of protons in the atom of the element. Therefore, in the case where there are 78 protons, we can conclude that the atomic number of this element is ALSO 78.
