3 0

Answer:

only chlorine can expand its octet.

Explanation:

An atom can expand its octet is it has empty d orbital

the electronic configuration of given elements will be:

B : 1s2 2s2 2p1 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

O :1s2 2s2 2p4 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

F : 1s2 2s2 2p5 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

Cl :1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 3d0 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

Out of given elements only chlorine has empty d orbitals in its valence shell

Thus only chlorine can expand its octet.

A photon of green light strikes an unknown metal and an electron is emitted. The voltage is set to 2 volts. The electron cannot
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

An electron will be emitted in the second experiment, but it cannot be determined whether it will reach the second plate.

Explanation:

In fact, violet has higher frequency than green light. This means that photons on violet carry more energy than photons of green light (remember that the energy of a photon is proportional to it's frequency:

e = hf

, so when they hit the surface of the metal, more energy is transferred to the electrons. The electron was already emitted with green light, so it must be emitted with also violet light, given the more energy transferred.

Design and implement a program (name it SumValue) that reads three integers (say X, Y, and Z) and prints out their values on sep
rjkz [21]

Answer:

class sum (

public static void sumofvalue (int m, int n, int p)

{

System.out.println(m);

System.out.println(n);

System.out.println(p);

int SumValue=m+n+p;

System.out.println("Average="+Sumvalue/3);

}

)

Public class XYZ

(

public static void main(String [] args)

{

sum ob=new sum();

int X=3;

int X=4;

int X=5;

ob.sumofvalue(X,Y,Z);

int X=7;

int X=8;

int X=10;

ob.sumofvalue(X,Y,Z);

}

)

Explanation:

The above program is made in Java, in which first we have printed value in a separate line. After that, the average value of those three values has been printed according to the question.

The processing of the program is given below in detail

* The first one class named 'sum' has been created which contains the function to print individual value and the average of those three values.

* In seconds main class named 'XYZ', the object of that the above class had been created which call the method of the above class to perform functions.

* In the main class values are assigned to variables X, Y, Z.
