4 0

Answer:

2370.0 contains 4 significant digits and Option (c) is correct .

1.20\times 10^{-3}\ contains\ three\ significant\ digit.

Option (b) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

Rules for finding significant digit .

1 : Non-zero digits are always significant.

2: Any zeros between two significant digits are significant .

3: Trailing zeros in the decimal number is also significant.

As the number given be 2,370.0.  

= \frac{23700}{10}

Simplify the above

= 2370

Thus by using the rule given above.

2370.0 contains 4 significant digits.

Option (c) is correct .

As the number given be 0.00120 .  

= \frac{120}{100000}

Simplify the above

= \frac{1.20}{1000}

= 1.20\times 10^{-3}

Thus by using the rule given above.

1.20\times 10^{-3}\ contains\ three\ significant\ digit.

Option (b) is correct .

Consider these elements: N, Mg, O, F, Al. a. Write the electron configuration for each element. b. Arrange the elements in order
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

N- 1s2 2s2 2p3

Mg- 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2

O- 1s2 2s2 2p4

F- 1s2 2s2 2p5

Al-1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1

Explanation:

Order of decreasing atomic radius

Mg,Al, N,O,F

Order of increasing ionization energy

Mg,Al, N,O,F

Reason:

Atomic radius decreases with increase in nonmetallic character. Looking at the electronic configurations, as effective nuclear charge increases, the atom becomes smaller and the attractive force between the nucleus and the outermost electrons increases. Hence, the radius of the atom decreases and ionization energy increases. Note that the addition of more orbital electrons implies addition of more nuclear charge since the both must exactly balance for the atom to remain electrically neutral. The more the electrons in the outermost shell, the higher the first ionization energy.

Based on what you know about matter explain why the food coloring mixes at different rates
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Matter has different densities. Different food colorings have different densities. Those with a higher density will sink to the bottom and mix much easier than one with a lower density. The higher density also contains more particles making it easier to mix or give it a fuller color.
