A scientist performs an experiment on an unknown element. She finds that the element forms an ionic bond with beryllium (Be) but

not with lithium (Li). She concludes that the unknown element must belong in group 2 of the periodic table. State whether or not you think this result supports her conclusion, and why

To fill up all of the valence electrons we must have 8 electrons total to have an ionic bond.  In this case Lithium is in group 1 and so only has 1 valence electron and so it can bond with elements from group 17, since 7 + 1 = 8.  However, this unknown element did bond with beryllium, and beryllium is in group 2 so it must bond with an atom that has 6 valence electrons.  The elements that have 6 valence electrons are in group 16 not group 2.  So the result does not support her conclusion.

Answer: The result do not support her conclusion as group 2 elements are metals.

Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element or the metal and forms a positively charged ion called as cation. The element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element or non metal and forms a negatively charged ion called as anion.

As both Lithium (Li) and berrylium (Be) are metals, they would combine with a non metal to form ionic bond. Thus the unknown element must be a non metal and should belong to group 14 , 15 , 16 or 17 and not to group 2, which are metals.

Thus The result do not support her conclusion as group 2 elements are metals.

A particle is moving along the x-axis. Its position as a function of time is given as x=bt-ct^2a) What must be the units of the
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

We are given x= bt +ct²

So

A. bxt= m

Because m/s*s= m

So b= m/s and c= m/s²

B.

x= bt-ct²

So at x=0 t=0

x=0 t= 2

We have

bt = ct² so t = b/c at x= 0

So b-2ct= 0

B. To find velocity we use

dx / dt = b - 2 Ct

C. At rest wen V= 0

We have t= b/2c

D. To find acceleration we use

dv / dt = - 2C

Describe the initial horizontal and vertical velocity of a horizontally launched projectile on Earth, as well as what happens to
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

To explain this, let's consider a tennis ball being launched from the top of a very high building.

Now, if the tennis ball is launched horizontally without any upward angle but with an initial velocity of 10 m/s. In this motion, If there is no gravity, the tennis ball would continue in motion at that same speed of 10 m/s in the horizontal direction. However, in reality, gravity causes the tennis ball to accelerate downwards at a rate of 9.8 m/s for every second. This implies that the vertical velocity component is changing at the rate of 9.8 m/s every second.

Thus, after 1 second, horizontal velocity component will remain 10 m/s and vertical component will be 9.8 m/s × 1 = 9.8 m/s downwards.

Also, after 2 seconds, the vertical velocity component will remain 10 m/s, however the vertical component will now be 9.8 × 2 = 19.6 m/s downwards.

Same procedure is repeated as t increases by 1 second.
