Berylium(Be) and calcium(Ca)
disa [49]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that elements of same group tend to possess same number of valence electrons. As a result, they show same chemical properties.

Phosphorous (P) and chlorine (Cl) belongs to third period. Valence electrons of phosphorous are 5 and chlorine has 7 valence electrons.

Beryllium (Be) and Calcium (Ca) are group 2 elements and both of them have two valence electrons.

Helium (He) is a noble gas and it does not have any valence electrons.

Oxygen (O) has six valence electrons and carbon (C) has 4 valence electrons.

Therefore, we can conclude that berylium (Be) and calcium (Ca) is the pairs of elements have the same number of valence electrons.

There are four hundred participants in the local Thanksgiving 5K race. If 51% of the participants are female, what is the ratio
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

51:49 is the ratio of female participants to male participants.

Explanation:

Percentage of females in the race = 51 %

Percentage of males in the race = 100% - 51 % = 49%

Total participants in race = 400

Number of women participants = 51% of 400=\frac{51}{100}\times 400=204

Number of men participants  = 49% of 400=\frac{49}{100}\times 400=196

Ratio of female participants to male participants :

\frac{204}{196}=\frac{51}{49}=51:49

II. Binding Forces A. Write a brief, one or two sentence, description of each binding force listed below. 1. London dispersion f
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

All description is given in explanation.

Explanation:

Van der Waals forces:

It is the general term used to describe the attraction or repulsion between the molecules. Vander waals force consist of two types of forces:

1.  London dispersion forces

2.  Dipole-dipole forces

1. London dispersion forces:

These are the weakest intermolecular forces. These are the temporary because when the electrons of atoms come close together they create temporary dipole, one end of an atom where the electronic density is high is create negative pole while the other becomes positive . These forces are also called induce dipole- induce dipole interaction.

2.  Dipole-dipole forces:

These are attractive forces , present between the molecules that are permanently polar. They are present between the positive end of one polar molecules and the negative end of the other polar molecule.

Hydrogen bonding:

It is the electrostatic attraction present between the atoms which are chemically bonded. The one atom is hydrogen while the other electronegative atoms are oxygen, nitrogen or flourine. This is weaker than covalent and ionic bond.

Ionic bond or electrostatic attraction:

It is the electrostatic attraction present between the oppositely charged ions. This is formed when an atom loses its electron and create positive charge and other atom accept its electron and create negative charge.

Hydrophobic interaction:

It is the interaction between the water and hydrophobic material. The hydrophobic materials are long chain carbon containing compound. These or insoluble in water.

Covalent bond:

These compounds are formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms of same elements are between the different element's atoms. The covalent bond is less stronger than ionic bond so require less energy to break as compared to the energy require to break the ionic bond.

True or false: Sometimes older rocks end up on top of younger rocks.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

true

downstream to the riverbed. However, the most common mechanism to produce older rocks on top of younger is by thrust faulting. Thrust faults form where rocks are being compressed, usually by plate tectonic mechanisms. Thrust faults rip up older strata and pile it on top of younger rocks.
