Answer:

The correct answer will be option-It is the best explanation because it supports the beliefs and opinions of most scientists.

Explanation:

Albert Einstein is known for his theory of relativity which states that energy is a converted form of mass to the square of the speed of light which is constant.

Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist who used the facts and data from the papers of the previous physicist. Although he used the facts his theory became one of the important theory in the physics world as it explained the path of the light and the form in which it travels.

This theory is well accepted today as it was supported by the experiments and observation of the other works of different scientist. This led to the acceptance of the theory worldwide.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

Give the name and formula of the compound formed from the following elements: (a) sodium and nitrogen; (b) oxygen and strontium;
lisov135 [29]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The chemical name and chemical formula formed is sodium nitride and Na_3N

<u>For b:</u> The chemical name and chemical formula formed is strontium oxide and SrO

<u>For c:</u> The chemical name and chemical formula formed is aluminium chloride and AlCl_3

<u>Explanation:</u>

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

  • <u>For a:</u> Sodium and nitrogen:

Sodium is the 11th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ne]3s^1

To form Na^{+} ion, this element will loose 1 electron.

Nitrogen is the 7th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [He]2s^22p^3.

To form N^{3-} ion, this element will gain 3 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for sodium nitride is Na_3N

  • <u>For b:</u> Oxygen and strontium

Strontium is the 38th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [Kr]5s^2.

To form Sr^{2+} ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [He]2s^22p^4.

To form O^{2-} ion, this element will gain 2 electrons.  

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for strontium oxide is SrO

  • <u>For c:</u> Aluminium and chlorine

Aluminium is the 13th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ne]3s^23p^1

To form Al^{3+} ion, this element will loose 3 electrons.

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ne]3s^23p^5

To form Cl^{-} ion, this element will gain 1 electron.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for aluminium chloride is AlCl_3

Differentiating Star Clusters
Maru [420]

“Star cluster” is a generic way for astronomers to refer to a group of stars that formed from the same material and are gravitationally bound for at least some period of time. There are two major types of star clusters — globular clusters and open clusters — and they are actually quite different.

Sum of brother and sisters age is 26. Four times the brothers age is subtracted from three times the sisters age, the difference
lana66690 [7]

Answer : The ages of the brother and sister are, 10 and 16 years respectively.

Solution :

Let the age of brother be 'x' and the age of sister be 'y'

There are two equations formed which are,

x + y = 26      ..........(1)

3y - 4x = 8     ..........(2)

First we have to multiple equation (1) by 4 and then added equation (1) and (2), we get the value of 'y'.

4x+4y+3y-4x=8+26\\\\7y=112\\\\y=16

Now put the value of 'y' in equation (2), we get the value of 'x'

3(16) - 4x = 8

4x = 40

x = 10

The age of brother = x = 10 years

The age of sister = y = 16 years

Therefore, the ages of the brother and sister are, 10 and 16 years respectively.
