Answer:

You should use 5 digits to the right of the decimal point.

Explanation:

To be precise in the mathematical operation you have to conserve all significant digits .

Replace the scientific notation for its equivalent in decimal notation:

2.70 x 10-4 g = 0.00027  g

4.21 x 10-3  g = 0.00421  g

Then, compute the addition and subtraction :

0.01360  g

+  

0.00027  g

-  

0.00421  g

-------------

0.00966 g = 9.66 x 10-3 g

That means you should use 5 digits to the right of the decimal point, which are the biggest amount of digits necessary to represent  2 of the numbers involved in the mathematical operation.

Fluorine (F) and bromine (Br) are in the same group on the periodic table. How do atoms of these elements compare when they form
mojhsa [17]

Answer is: Both a fluorine atom and a bromine atom gain one electron, and both atoms become stable.

Fluorine and bromine are in group 17 in Periodic table of elements. Group 17 (halogens) elements are in group 17: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br) and iodine (I). They are very reactive and easily form many compounds.

Halogens need to gain one electron to have electron cofiguration like next to it noble gas.

Fluorine has atomic number 9, it means it has 9 protons and 9 electrons.

Fluorine tends to have eight electrons in outer shell like neon (noble gas) and gains one electron in chemical reaction.

Electron configuration of fluorine: ₉F 1s² 2s² 2p⁵.

Electron configuration of neon: ₁₀Ne 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

An ideal gas is a gas. <br> Perfect<br> Theoretical<br> Real
dusya [7]

Answer:

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas composed of many randomly moving point particles that are not subject to interparticle interactions. The ideal gas concept is useful because it obeys the ideal gas law, a simplified equation of state, and is amenable to analysis under statistical mechanics.

What is the oxidation state of each element in so32â?
Ierofanga [76]
 <span>Same answer, different setup. We know that the sum of the oxidation numbers is zero for a compound and the ionic charge for a polyatomic ion, and we know that sulfite ion is -2. 

Create an algebraic equation by multiplying the subscripts times the oxidation number of a single element. 

+x -6 = -2
