Answer: electronegativity

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the property of an element to attract a shared pair of electron towards itself.

The size of an atom decreases as we move across the period because the electrons get added to the same shell and the nuclear charge keeps on increasing. Thus the electrons get more tightly held by the nucleus.

As, the size of an element decreases, the valence electrons come near to the nucleus. So, the attraction between the nucleus and the shared pair of electrons increases and thus the electronegativity increases.

Which property of matter allows convection currents to form

USPshnik [31]

Convection currents are formed due to the density difference between layers of fluid. The heated layers rise up because their density is less than that of the colder layers. Hope this helps!

In a circus act, a 70 kg clown is shot from a cannon with an initial velocity of 17 m/s at some unknown angle above the horizont

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

$K_{2}=7302.4J$

Explanation:

Given the initial velocity of the clown, his mass and final height we can calculate the final kinetic energy using the conservation of total mechanical energy

$K_{1}+U_{1}=K_{2}+U_{2}$
