Answer:

Elements belonging to the same periodic group reflects similar chemical properties because of the same number of valence electrons residing in their outermost orbits that reflect the same energy level.

Explanation:

<u>Elements of a periodic group reflecting similar properties</u>

We often observe that a specific group of elements reflect common characteristics towards other elements. This is because these elements have their valence electrons in the same energy levels.

This is the prime factor according to which elements are kept in a specific group in the periodic table. All elements in the group have the same number of valence electrons. These elements may have different number of electrons over all. Elements belonging to the same group shows the same chemical properties such as bonding with other elements, reacting to other substances etc.

An object starts from rest, and accelerates at 2m/s2 for 10s. How far has it gone in that time

blagie [28]

Answer:

100m

Explanation:

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}$

u=0;t=10sec;a=2m/s²

$s = 0(10) + \frac{1}{2}(2 \times {10}^{2} )$

s=10²;100m

In a rigid container, as the temperature of a gas decreases, the pressure of the gas will decrease. t f

Sergio039 [100]

The answer is true: the pressure of a gas will decrease as temperature decreases in a rigid container.

This is one of the central gas laws called the Gay-Lussac law that states for a given gas at a constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature. We also know that as temperature reduces, so too does molecular interaction. Increased temperature results in increased pressure, and decreased temperature therefore results in decreased pressure.

Which element does not have the same number of electrons in its outermost shell as the other elements in its group?(1 point)

Setler79 [48]

Helium (He) does not have the same number of valence electrons as other elements in its group.

The periodic table is divided into groups with the last number of the group coinciding with the number of electrons that an element in the group has in its outermost or valence shell.

Helium is in group 18 which means that it should have the same number of valence electrons as :

Neon
Argon
Krypton
Xenon and,
Radon

Yet Helium only has 2 valence electrons. We can therefore conclusively say that Helium does not have the same number of valence electrons as other elements in its group.

As stated in the statement, we will apply energy conservation to solve this problem.

From this concept we know that the kinetic energy gained is equivalent to the potential energy lost and vice versa. Mathematically said equilibrium can be expressed as
