Chlorine is a halogen and all halogens and oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen are diatomics
kirza4 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Neon is in group 8/0, which means that it has a full outer shell. Atoms react to get a full outer shell but as neon already has a full outer shell, it doesn't react and stays monatomic.

However, chlorine is in group 7, so it needs 1 more electron to complete its outer shell, two chlorine atom share one electron each with each other so they have full outer shells. This is why chlorine is diatomic.

fomenos

Answer: Adiabatic process is a process in which <u>heat</u> is constant

Explanation:

The processes in which temperature remains constant is called isothermal process.

The process in which Volume remains constant is called isochoric process.  

The process in which pressure remains constant is called isobaric process.

 The process in which no heat is gained or lost by the system, Hence heat remains constant is called as adiabatic process.

Thus option d) heat is correct

Express the frequency in inverse seconds. n=5--&gt;n=1
Natalija [7]

The frequencies expressed in inverse seconds are 5 s⁻¹  and 1 s⁻¹.

<h3>What is frequency?</h3>

Frequency is the number of complete cycles in a second made by a wave.

F = 1/T

F = n/t

<h3>When n = 5</h3>

F = 5/s =  5 s⁻¹ = 5Hz

<h3>When n = 1</h3>

F = 1/s =  1 s⁻¹ = 1Hz
