Yes, our friend is right, because there is no contradiction to the law of conservation of mass in the above equation. It just the mass of the product is equal to the mass of reactants.. and that is shown in the equation you have presented earlier
Answer:

Explanation:
For the simple pendulum problem we need to remember that:
,
where
is the angular position, t is time, g is the gravity, and L is the length of the pendulum. We also need to remember that there is a relationship between the angular frequency and the length of the pendulum:
,
where
is the angular frequency.
There is also an equation that relates the oscillation period and the angular frequeny:
,
where T is the oscillation period. Now, we can easily solve for L:

Answer:
because only two electrons can fit in the first orbit around the nucleus, and each period on the table is organized by number of orbits
