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

You add 800 ml of water at 20c to 800 ml of water at 80c what is the most likely final temperature of the mixture ?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

d. 50 C

Explanation:

In this problem, we have to add 800 ml of water at 20 Celsius to 800 ml of water at 80 Celsius.

According to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, heat transfers from hot to cold temperature.

The quantity of both the different waters is equal so this makes it very easy. All we have to do is find the mean of both the temperatures:

Final temperature = (20 C + 80 C)/2

= 50 Celsius

A motorbike accelerates from 15m/s to 25m/s in 15 seconds.
RSB [31]

distance traveled by a uniformly accelerated bike is given as

d = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2} (t)

here we know that

v_f = 25 m/s

v_i = 15 m/s

t = 15 s

now we will have from above equation

d = \frac{15 + 25}{2} (15)

d = 20 (15) = 300 m

so it will cover the total distance of 300 m
