Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.

Atomic number of beryllium is 4 and its electronic distribution is 2, 2. This means there are only two shells of electrons.

Whereas atomic number of sodium is 11 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 1.  This means there are three shells of electrons.

Also there is one more valence electron in sodium as compared to beryllium.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options the element X is sodium (Na).

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Classification will be Potassium, Bromine, and Argon

Explanation:

  • Potassium is more likely to lose electrons and form positive ion
  • Bromine actually gain electrons and forms negative ion
  • Argon does not lose or gain electrons

How fast must a 56.5-g tennis ball travel in order to have a de Broglie wavelength that is equal to that of a photon of green li
nikklg [1K]

Answer:vv

v=2.17\times 10^{-26}\ m/s

Explanation:

The expression for the deBroglie wavelength is:

\lambda=\frac {h}{m\times v}

Where,  

\lambda is the deBroglie wavelength  

h is Plank's constant having value 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js

m is the mass of = 56.5\ g=0.0565\ kg

v is the speed.

Wavelength = 5400 Å = 5400\times 10^{-10}\ m

Applying in the equation as:-

5400\times 10^{-10}=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}}{0.0565\times v}

v=\frac{331300000}{10^{34}\times \:1.5255}\ m/s

v=2.17\times 10^{-26}\ m/s
