Explanation: The atoms attain the configuration of inert gas by sharing electrons.

Lets take an example of HCl,

Atomic number of H is 1 and it has only 1 valance electron. whereas atomic number of chlorine is 17 and it has 7 valance electron.

When hydrogen atom combine with chlorine atom then they share electrons through covalent bonding in order to complete their octet.

According to figure,

Electronic configuration of H = 1

Electronic configuration of Cl = 2,8,7

Now, after share of electron

Electronic configuration of H = 2

Electronic configuration of Cl = 2,8,8

Hence, we can conclude that when atoms share electrons then their octet gets complete and atoms achieve noble gas electronic configuration.

A ship, carrying freshwater to a desert island in the caribbean, has a horizontal cross-sectional area of 2800 m2 at the waterli

Alex17521 [72]

<span>Due that we already know the horizontal cross-sectional area of the ship, which is 2800 m2 and we are going to understand that value keeps constant for the whole 9.5 of height of the ship from the waterline till the new waterline after unloading, then we just need to calculate the volume as follows: V = A * H , where V is volume, A is area and H is height V= 2,800 * 9.5 = 26,600 m3 So this volum of 26,600 cubic meters is the volum of freshwater delivered in the island.</span>

Three identical capacitors are connected in parallel to a battery. if a total charge of q flows from the battery, how much charg

muminat

Each capacitor carry the same charge 'q'.

Discussion:
The voltage from the battery is distributed equally across all of the capacitors when they are linked in series. The three identical capacitors' combined voltage is computed as follows:

$V_{T}$ = V₁ +V₂ +V₃

This voltage may also be calculated using capacitance and charge;

V = Q/ C

$V_{T}$ = V₁ +V₂ +V₃

Provided that the total charge is 'q', hence the total voltage can be expressed as:

$V_{T}$ = (Q/C₁) + (Q/C₂) + (Q/C₃) = Q(1/C₁ +1/C₂ +1/C₃)

Therefore from the above explanation, it is concluded that each and every capacitor carry same charge 'q'.

A pendulum takes 10 seconds to swing through 2 complete cycles what is it’s period and frequency

Orlov [11]

its period should be the amount it takes to cycle from cycle to cycle so it would be 10 and your frequency would have to be calculated by taking 10 and dividing by 2 since that is how many cycles you have done so your frequency is 5

OLga [1]

To solve this problem we will use the linear motion kinematic equations, for which the change of speed squared with the acceleration and the change of position. The acceleration in this case will be the same given by gravity, so our values would be given as,

$m= 89 kg\\x = 3.1 m\\t = 0.5s\\a = g = 9.8m/s^2$
