The elements of the periodic table are classified into three categories: inert gases, nonmetals and metals. Generally, inert gases do not readily gain nor lose electrons, while nonmetals are more likely to acquire electrons. Metals contain low ionization energies, which refer to the amount of energy required to free or remove an electron. These elements also have low electron affinities, or the attractive forces between an incoming electron and the nucleus of an atom. The lower the ionization energies and electron affinities of an atom are, the greater the tendency to lose electrons.

Metal atoms have the tendency to lose electrons. The type of chemical bonding formed by atoms of metallic elements is called metallic bonding.In terms of gaining or losing electrons, the elements of the periodic table are classified into three categories: inert gases, nonmetals and metals.

Metals contain low ionization energies, which refer to the amount of energy required to free or remove an electron.

14. The design for a rotating spacecraft below consists of two rings. The outer ring with a radius of 30 m holds the living quar

Zolol [24]

Answer:

$T= 11.0003$ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The outer ring with a radius of 30 m

inner Gravity Approximately 9.80 m/s'

Outer Gravity Approximately 5.35 m/s.

Generally the equation for centripetal force is given mathematically as

Centripetal acceleration enables Rotation therefore?

$\omega ^2 r =Angular\ acc$

Considering the outer ring,

$\omega ^2 r = 9.8$

$\omega ^2= \frac{9.8}{30}$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{30}}$

$\omega= 0.571 rad/s$

Therefore solving for Period T

Generally the equation for solving Period T is mathematically given as

$T= \frac{2\pi}{\omega}$

$T= \frac{2\pi}{0.571 rad/s}$

$T= 11.0003$ s

Please answer D in the image with an explanation

puteri [66]

Answer:

The force is 274 N.

Explanation:

In figure 2:

(d) Let the tension in the string is T.

According to the Newton's second law,

Net force = mass x acceleration

Apply for 200N.

$T - 200 sin 35 =\frac{200}{9.8}\times a \\T - 114.7 = 20.4 a..... (1)\\220 - T = \frac{220}{9.8}\times a\\220 - T = 22.45 a..... (2)\\Adding both the equations\\334.7 = 42.85 aa =7.81 m/s^{2}$

Now put in (1)

T - 114.7 = 20.4 x 7.81

T = 274 N

Place the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wavelength. ultraviolet light gamma rays radio wav

kvv77 [185]

Answer: gamma rays < ultraviolet light < radio waves

Explanation: We have to explain the ordering we take into account a relationship for electromagnetic wave, which is given by:

c=λ*ν c is the speed of light. λ and ν are the wavelegth and the frequency of the waves.

Then we also know that the high frequency of these radiation correspond to the gamma ray (10^18 1/s) while the lowest correspond to radio wave (10^8 1/s) so:

The ultraviolet ligth is ranged at frequencies of 10^16 1/s located bewteen gamma and radio radiation.

as large frequency lower wavelength we can order these radiations from short to long wavelengths as follows:

gamma rays < ultraviolet light < radio waves
