Answer:

D. They have the same number of valence electrons

Explanation:

In order to answer this question we need to understand the following.

Valence electrons refers to the outermost electron(s) in the outermost energy level of an atom.
Elements in the same group in the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons. For instance, group 2A elements have 2 valence electrons.
The reactivity of elements in the periodic table is based on the number of valence electrons and the ease of gaining or losing electrons.
Elements in the same group have similar valence electrons and therefore share similar chemical properties such as reactivity.
Hence, elements in the same group have same number of valence electron and will thus have similar reactivity.

Solving a series circuit, did I do this correctly?

nirvana33 [79]

The total resistance in the circuit is 16 Ohms.
The total current in the circuit is 0.5 Ampere.
The current at $R_1$ is 0.5 Ampere.
The current at $R_3$ is 0.5 Ampere.
The voltage drop at $R_1$ is 4 volts.
The voltage drop at $R_2$ is 2.5 volts.
The voltage drop at $R_3$ is 1.5 volts.
The total power consumed by the circuit is 4watts
The power consumed at $R_1$ is 2 watts
The power consumed at $R_2$ is 1.25 watts

Given:

The voltage across the circuit = V = 8 V

The resistors connected are in series:

$R_1=8 \Omega, R_2=5\Omega ,R_3=3 \Omega$

To find:

The values of from 1 to 10.

Solution

The voltage across the circuit = V = 8 V

The total resistance in the circuit = $R_{eq}$

$R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+R_3\\=8 \Omega +5 \Omega + 3\Omega =16\omega$

The total current in the circuit = I

$V=IR_{eq}\\I=\frac{V}{R_{eq}}=\frac{8 V}{16 \Omega}=0.5 A$ (Ohm's law)

For series combinations, the current in each resistor remains the same.

So, the current in $R_1, R_2 \&R_3$ :

$I_1= I_2= I_3=I=0.5 A\\$

The voltage drop across at $R_1$ = $V_1$

The current across $R_1$ = I = 0.5 A

$V_1=I\times R_1\\\\=0.5A\times 8\Omega = 4 V$

The voltage drop across at $R_2$ = $V_2$

The current across $R_2$ = I = 0.5 A

$V_2=I\times R_2\\\\=0.5A\times 5\Omega = 2.5 V$

The voltage drop across at $R_3$ = $V_3$

The current across $R_3$ = I = 0.5 A

$V_3=I\times R_3\\\\=0.5A\times 3\Omega = 1.5 V$

The total power consumed by circuit:

$P= V\times I \\\\= 0.5 A\times 8 V = 4 watt$

Power consumed at $R_1$ :

$P_1=V_1\times I\\\\= 4V\times 0.5A = 2 watt$

Power consumed at $R_2$ :

$P_2=V_2\times I\\\\= 2.5 V\times 0.5A = 1.25 watt$

Power consumed at $R_3$ :

$P_3=V_3\times I= \\\\1.5 V\times 0.5A = 0.75 watt$

Which equations represent the relationship between wavelength and frequency for a sounds wave

ioda

Waves can be described using a number of different characteristics of a wave. Wavelength and frequency are two such characteristics. The relationship between wavelength and frequency is that the frequency of a wave multiplied by its wavelength gives the speed of the wave

How does Earth's rotation affect our view of stars

bonufazy [111]

Due to rotation of Earth on each day, our East & west gets change in every half day, and comes in it's initial state after a day. So, Stars which are in east relative to a stationary object in the Universe, will be in west relative to Earth after some time, and it changes our view of stars

Hope this helps!
