Answer:

A

Explanation:

The answer is A, when you drawing the electron diagrams for each element you should draw all the electron for given element.

In the example of sodium and chlorine:

Sodium : 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s1

Chlorine: 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2 3p5

All the electron on the 1 and 2 levels will not be used to this representation because they will not leave the valence band. Only the electrons in the 3 level will interact in this example.

Remember that the sodium will lose an electron and become an cation. This happens because all the element will look for a stable form with the last band having 8 electron.

The chlorine will receive an electron, so the last band will have 8 electron.

How does intertia affect gymnastics
Olegator [25]
Inertia is resistance to changes in motion. Which means if you are at rest it takes an external force to get you moving. And once you are moving it takes an external force to change the direction of that motion. 

<span>For a person doing gymnastics the point that is subject to the above statement is her center of mass (roughly her belly button) . </span>

<span>So for example, once you launch into the air, gravity is the only significant force on you. It keeps you from traveling out into space by pulling you down and the trajectory of your belly button is a parabola. Now there is nothing you can do with your muscles (internal forces) to change that trajectory, even though you can do twists & turns about the center of mass. The height and range of the parabolic trajectory is determined by the angle & speed at which you initially launch yourself.
_____________________________________________________________
</span><span>inertia is one of newtons laws of motion so an object in motion tends to remain in motion until another force acts upon it that is what newton said when you are doing a back hand spring it is easier to keep going then to stop

Hope this helps!!! :D

Would the amount of solid magnesium increase decrease or stay the same if you added a strong acid to it?
Vlada [557]
Solid Magnesium is considered as active metal so it reacts with strong acids like HCl and H₂SO₄ liberating Hydrogen gas according to the following equations:

Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → MgCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
Mg(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + H₂(g)

so the amount of solid magnesium decrease  by addition of strong acid to it.

(5points) Na2[Fe(OH2)2(OH)I3]absorbs photons with energy of 191kJ/mol. Calculate the wavelength (in nm) for a photon absorbed by
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

626.7nm

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is defined as:

E = hc / λ

<em>Where E is the energy of the photon, h is Planck constant (6.626x10⁻³⁴Js), c is speed of light (3x10⁸m/s) and </em>λ is the wavelength of light

The energy of 1 photon is:

(191000 J / mol) ₓ (1 mole / 6.022x10²³) = 3.1717x10⁻¹⁹ J

Replacing:

3.1717x10⁻¹⁹ J = <em>6.626x10⁻³⁴Jsₓ3x10⁸m/s /  </em>λ

λ = 6.267x10⁻⁷m

as 1nm = 1x10⁻⁹m:

6.267x10⁻⁷m ₓ (1nm / 1x10⁻⁹m) =

<h3>626.7nm</h3>

20 ML of a gas at 200 K is heated until the new volume is 55ML what is the final temperature of the gas
MrRa [10]

Answer:

T2 = 550K

Explanation:

From Charles law;

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Where;

V1 is initial volume

V2 is final volume

T1 is initial temperature

T2 is final temperature

We are given;

V1 = 20 mL

V2 = 55 mL

T1 = 200 K

Thus from V1/T1 = V2/T2, making T2 the subject;

T2 = (V2 × T1)/V1

T2 = (55 × 200)/20

T2 = 550K

How many grams of silver chromate, Ag2CrO4, are produced from 57.7
Anastasy [175]
48.3 g AgNO3 / 169.9 g/mol = 0.284 moles AgNO3
0.284 mol AgNO3 X (1 mol Ag2CrO4/2 mol AgNO3) = 0.142 mol Ag2CrO4
0.142 mol Ag2CrO4 X 331.7 g/mol = 47.1 g Ag2CrO4
