Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

(a) 1s22s22p63s23p5 it's a halogen, halogens are in group 7A in the periodic table, that means that that have 7 electrons in the outermost shell.

  outermost shell = 3   number of electrons = 2 + 5 = 7

(b) 1s22s22p63s23p63d74s2 it's an alkaline earth metal, these elements are in the 2A group and have 2 electrons in the outermost shell.

outermost shell 4 number of electrons = 2

(c) 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p6 This is an inert gas, these elements have 8 electrons in the outermost shell.

outermost shell 4 number of electrons = 2 + 6 = 8

(d) 1s22s22p63s23p64s1 This is a alkali metal, these elements have 1 electron in the outermost shell

outermost shell 4 number of electrons = 1

(e) 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p64d55s2  it's a transition metal. Besides this the outermost shell of this element is 5, shell 4 is incomplete, (4d5) letter d is for transition metal.

outermost shell 5, we consider 4  number of electrons (d) = 5

(f) 1s22s22p63s2  it's an alkaline earth metal, these elements are in the 2A group and have 2 electrons in the outermost shell.

outermost shell 3 number of electrons = 2

Yanka [14]

Answer:

4.7 m³

Explanation:

We'll use the gas law P1 • V1 / T1 = P2 • V2 / T2

* Givens :

P1 = 101 kPa , V1 = 2 m³ , T1 = 300.15 K , P2 = 40 kPa , T2 = 283.15 K

( We must always convert the temperature unit to Kelvin "K")

* What we want to find :

V2 = ?

* Solution :

101 × 2 / 300.15 = 40 × V2 / 283.15

V2 × 40 / 283.15 ≈ 0.67

V2 = 0.67 × 283.15 / 40

V2 ≈ 4.7 m³

A mass is oscillating with amplitude A at the end of a spring.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

A) x=\pm \frac{A}{2\sqrt{2}}

The total energy of the system is equal to the maximum elastic potential energy, that is achieved when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (x=A):

E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2 (1)

where k is the spring constant.

The total energy, which is conserved, at any other point of the motion is the sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy:

E=U+K=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2 (2)

where x is the displacement, m the mass, and v the speed.

We want to know the displacement x at which the elastic potential energy is 1/3 of the kinetic energy:

U=\frac{1}{3}K

Using (2) we can rewrite this as

U=\frac{1}{3}(E-U)=\frac{1}{3}E-\frac{1}{3}U\\U=\frac{E}{4}

And using (1), we find

U=\frac{E}{4}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}kA^2}{4}=\frac{1}{8}kA^2

Substituting U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2 into the last equation, we find the value of x:

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{8}kA^2\\x=\pm \frac{A}{2\sqrt{2}}

B) x=\pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}A

In this case, the kinetic energy is 1/10 of the total energy:

K=\frac{1}{10}E

Since we have

K=E-U

we can write

E-U=\frac{1}{10}E\\U=\frac{9}{10}E

And so we find:

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{9}{10}(\frac{1}{2}kA^2)=\frac{9}{20}kA^2\\x^2 = \frac{9}{10}A^2\\x=\pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}A
