<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is 2.7\times 10^{24}

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Moles of mercury = 4.5 moles

According to the mole concept:

1 mole of an element contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of atoms.

So, 4.5 moles of mercury will contain 4.5\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=27.099\times 10^{23} number of atoms.

The rule that must be applied for the multiplication and division in significant figures is:

The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

Here, the least precise significant number in problem are 2. Thus, the answer must also contain 2 least significant numbers.

Therefore, the correct answer becomes 2.7\times 10^{24}

Answer:

The second option

Explanation:

Speed is defined at the rate at which distance changes with time. It is scalar quantity and it is expressed as shown below:

              Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

At constant speed the rate of change of distance with time is the same. On the second graph, this is noticeable. Both distance and time change at the same rate.

Lorico [155]

Energy Levels of Electrons. As you may remember from chemistry, an atom consists of electrons orbiting around a nucleus. ... They are restricted to orbits with only certain energies. Electrons can jump from one energy level to another, but they can never have orbits with energies other than the allowed energy levels.
