Answer:

Mg (atomic number 12)

K (atomic number 19)

Explanation:

The size of an atom is estimated in terms of its atomic radius.

The atomic radius is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance (d) between two nuclei in the solid - state of metals.

  • Across a period, atomic radii decrease progressively from left to right.
  • This is due to the progressive increase in the nuclear charge without increase in the number of electronic shells.
  • Down a group, atomic radii increase progressively due to the successive shells of electrons being added which have been compensated for by the increase in nuclear charge.

Cl is further right of Mg in the third period

K is below Na in the first group

A plant cell is no longer capable of capturing energy from sunlight and converting it into chemical energy. Which organelle is m
Nadya [2.5K]

The chloroplast of the cell is most likely damaged if the plant cell is no longer capable of capturing energy from sunlight and converting it into chemical energy.

The chloroplast is the structure inside the leaf cell that is known for capturing light energy from the sun.

This light energy is then used to make food that has chemical energy. If a plant cell has a damaged chloroplast or the chloroplast is removed, then it will no longer be able to trap the light energy. As a result, the process of photosynthesis will not occur in the plant cell. The plant cell will not be able to make the chemical energy required for functioning.

What is the best way to dry a thermometer servsafe?
Mandarinka [93]
A thermometer should be air dried so as to not damage it or anything similar. The three steps to cleaning it are washing, rinsing, and air drying it after. You shouldn't try to dry it other ways because it can damage it and this can cause a lot of troubles, so things cold air blowers or similar things can be very good in cleaning your thermometer.

For a series circuit what is the terminal voltage of a battery or power supply equal to in terms of the potential difference or
trapecia [35]

Answer: V=IR

Explanation: for a series circuit connected to a battery supply, the total emf across the circuit is given as

E = I(R + r) and by expanding, we have that E =IR + It

Where r is the internal resistance of the battery

I is the total current flowing in the circuit

R total load resistance in the circuit.

E is the total emf of the circuit.

The total emf is the sum of 2 separate voltages.

"IR" which is the terminal voltage and "Ir" which is the loss voltage.

The teenila voltage is the voltage flowing in the circuit based on the equivalent resistance of the circuit while the loss voltage is the wasted voltage based on the internal resistance of the battery source.

1. A ball falls from a height "h" from a tower. Which of the following statements is true?
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

the total kinetic and potential energy of the ball is constant (mechanical energy remains the same)

Explanation:

As the ball falls, kinetic energy is increased in direct relation with the decrease in potential energy

ΔKE + ΔPE = 0
