Which element has the greatest number of valence electrons?

Physics
1 answer:
nalin [4]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Option B) oxygen (O)

Explanation:

The number of valence electrons in an element refers to the number of electrons in its outermost shell.

Hence, for each of the given elements, they are as follows:

- Phosphorus (P) has an atomic number of 15, with an electronic configuration of 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p3. Hence, it has 5 valence electrons.

- Oxygen (0) has an atomic number of 8, with an electronic configuration of 1s2, 2s2 2p6. Hence, it has 6 valence electrons.

- Sodium (Na), has an atomic number of 11, with an electronic configuration of 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s1. Hence, it has 1 valence electron.

- Magnesium (Mg) has an atomic number of 12, with an electronic configuration of 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2. Hence, it has 2 valence electrons.

Thus, oxygen with 6 outermost electrons has the greatest number of valence electrons among the given elements.

What the name for the phenomenon of inducing voltage by changing the magnetic field around a conductor?
8090 [49]

The phenomenon of inducing voltage by changing the magnetic field around a conductor will be Electromagnetic Induction. Option B is correct.

<h3>What is the Faraday law of electromagnetic induction?</h3>

According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the rate of change of magnetic flux link with the coil is responsible for generating emf in the coil to result in the flow of amount of current .

So in order to increase the current, we need to increase the EMF;

so we can increase it by;

1) Increasing the number of turns

2) Increase the area of the loop

3) By moving the magnet faster

Hence, option B is correct.

To learn more about Faraday law of electromagnetic induction:

Josh starts his sled at the top of a 2.9-m-high hill that has a constant slope of 25∘. After reaching the bottom, he slides acro
algol13

Answer:

S=48.29 m

Explanation:

Given that the height of the hill h = 2.9 m

Coefficient of kinetic friction between his sled and the snow μ = 0.08

Let u be the speed of the skier at the bottom of the hill.

By applying conservation of energy at the top and bottom of the inclined plane we get.

Potential Energy=kinetic Energy

mgh = (1/2) mu²

u² = 2gh

u²=2(9.81)(2.9)

   =56.89

u=7.54 m/s

a = - f / m

a = - μ*m*g / m

a = - μg

From equation of motion

v²- u² = 2 -μ g S

v=0 m/s

-(7.54)²=-2(0.06)(9.81)S

S=48.29 m
