S(2-), where (2-) is a superscript, means that the charge of the ion is (2-). OH (-), where (-) is a superscript, means that the charge of OH ion is (1-) .

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The correct option is b. false

Explanation:

The distance between the nucleus of an atom and it's outermost shell is called is atomic radius. The atomic radius of an Iron atom (Fe) is 0.126 nm or 1.26 angstrom. The distance between the nuclei of two Iron atoms will be 1.26 × 2 = 2.52 angstroms.

Since 2.52 angstroms is lower than 4 angstroms, the correct option is false

What is the highest point of the wave a transverse wave called

topjm [15]

The answer to the question "what is the highest point of the transverse wave called" is a crest or peak. A transverse wave is a wave in which the medium of the wave vibrates at 90 degrees to the direction in which the wave is moving at. The lowest points are called the troughs. Examples of transverse waves are light and electromagnetic radiation.
