Answer : The correct option is, (B) sodium and potassium

Explanation :

Valence electrons : Valence electrons are those electrons which are present in the outermost shell of the element.

As we know that,

<u>Option (A) :</u>

Element = Hydrogen

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 1

The electronic configuration is, 1s^1

The number of valence electrons = 1

Element = Helium

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 2

The electronic configuration is, 1s^2

The number of valence electrons = 2

<u>Option (B) :</u>

Element = Sodium

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 11

The electronic configuration is, 1s^22s^22p^63s^1

The number of valence electrons = 1

Element = Potassium

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 19

The electronic configuration is, 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^1

The number of valence electrons = 1

<u>Option (C) :</u>

Element = Carbon

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 6

The electronic configuration is, 1s^22s^22p^2

The number of valence electrons = 4

Element = Oxygen

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 8

The electronic configuration is, 1s^22s^22p^4

The number of valence electrons = 6

<u>Option (D) :</u>

Element = Boron

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 5

The electronic configuration is, 1s^22s^22p^1

The number of valence electrons = 3

Element = Beryllium

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 4

The electronic configuration is, 1s^22s^2

The number of valence electrons = 2

From this we conclude that, the sodium and potassium are the elements have the same number of valence electrons.

Hence, the correct option is, (B)

Leokris [45]

Ocean currents determine the various directions of wind movement.

<h3>What is ocean current?</h3>

Ocean currents are caused by differences in density as well as the temperature of the moving winds across the ocean. In the ocean, warm water is found at the top while cooler water occurs far below.

Warm ocean currents originate near the equator and move towards the poles. The ocean currents control the direction of winds in an area.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

<h2>120 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 8 × 15

We have the final answer as

<h3>120 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
