Explanation:

(a)  It is known that both Be and Ba are group 2 elements. And, in metals more easily an element is able to lose valence electrons more will be its metallic character.

Elements of group 2 have more metallic character as compared to elements of group 3 (Al is a group 3 element).

Therefore, out of the given options Ba is larger in size so, it is most metallic in nature.

(b)   A covalent compound is defined as the compound in which combining atoms form a chemical bond due to sharing of electrons.

Whereas a compound in which combining atoms tend to form a chemical bond due to transfer of electrons is known as an ionic compound.

Both NaCl and CaCl_{2} are ionic in nature. On the other hand, in BeCl_{2} size of Be is smaller and it has high charge density due to which it will attract the valence electrons of chlorine atom.

Hence, sharing of atoms occur in BeCl_{2}. Hence,  BeCl_{2} is a covalent compound.

(c)  Ionization energy is defined as the heat or energy necessary to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion.

Larger is the size of an atom, less amount of energy will be needed by it to remove a valence electron. Hence, lower will be the value of ionization energy.

Therefore, out of the given options Rb has the lowest first ionization energy.

(d)    Higher is the positive charge on an atom smaller will be its size because a positive charge occurs due to loss of electrons.

As a result, size of an atom becomes small. Therefore, out of the given options Al^{3+} is the smallest.

(e)   When we move from left to right in a periodic table then there will be decrease in size of atom due to the addition of electrons into same shells.

Cs is placed at the bottom right corner and Xe is placed at the bottom left corner of a periodic table.

Hence, size of Cs^{+} is largest as compared to both Ba^{+} and Xe.

What is the resistance of a 150 W lightbulb connected to a 24 V voltage source?
Luda [366]

Answer:

3.84 Ω

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Electrical power (P) = 150 W

Voltage (V) = 24 V

Resistance (R) =?

P = IV

Recall:

V = IR

Divide both side by R

I = V/R

P = V/R × V

P = V² / R

Where:

P => Electrical power

V => Voltage

I => Current

R => Resistance

With the above formula (i.e P = V²/R), we can calculate resistance as illustrated below:

Electrical power (P) = 150 W

Voltage (V) = 24 V

Resistance (R) =?

P = V²/R

150 = 24² / R

150 = 576 / R

Cross multiply

150 × R = 576

Divide both side by 150

R = 576 / 150

R = 3.84 Ω

Thus, the resistance is 3.84 Ω

Define "Mutarotation"
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Mutarotation refers to the change in the optical rotation or optical activity of a solution due to the change in the equilibrium of the two anomers. It depends upon the optical activity and ratio of the anomeric forms in the solution.

To measure the optical rotation of a given solution, a polarimeter can be used and thus the ratio of the anomeric forms can be calculated.
