For scientific notation, when i move the decimal to the left the the exponent get bigger or smaller?

1 answer:

3 0

I'm not sure what you mean. Besides, I feel like you're talking math.
But anyways, if you have 120 let's say
The scientific notation is 1.20 × 10^2
if you have 125000
the scientific notation is 1.25 × 10^ 5
The number of times you go left the decimal, I guess exponent increases
So yea

Which of the following is not a characteristic of a metal?

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

B. Poor conductor.

Explanation:

It cannot be A, as only 1 metal is not solid at room temp.

It cannot be C, as most metals are ductile.

It cannot be D, as most metals are malleable.

This leaves B, which is not true about metals, as a lot are very good conductors.

Why does electronegativity decrease from right to left within a period?

Firlakuza [10]

Explanation:

so, as you move down a group on the periodic table, the electronegativity of an element decreases because the increased number of energy levels puts the outer electrons very far away from the pull of the nucleus. electronegativity increases as you move from left to right across a period on the periodic table.

1. Which out of the following elements has the lowest electronegativity: Lithium, Beryllium, Magnesium, Sodium

lidiya [134]

The element Sodium (Na) has a low electronegativity of the following elements.
The element Beryllium (Be) has the least metallic character.
The element Sodium (Na) has the largest atom.

Explanation:

Sodium (Na) which is a delicate, shimmering white, profoundly responsive soluble base metal loses an electron to a chlorine iota since it has seven electrons in its valence shell.
It needs one more electron to turn into a steady molecule. It has the most reduced electronegativity of the given components.
Beryllium (Be) is a light, silver-gray, relatively soft metal that is strong but brittle has the least metallic character of the given elements.
Since from left to right in a period, Metallic character decreases while nonmetallic character increases from top to bottom.
Sodium(Na) is the largest atom among the given elements since Atomic size decreases across a period from left to right and increases from top to bottom.
