<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option E.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Electronegativity is the chemical property of an element. This is defined as the tendency of an atom to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself when a bond is formed.

This property of an atom increases as we move from left to right in a period because the number of charge on the nucleus increases.

But this property decreases as we move from top to bottom in a group because electrons get added up in the new shells which make it further far away from the nucleus.

Thus, the correct answer is Option E.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

e. adiabatic process

Explanation:

Adiabatic process  -

In the thermodynamic system , an adiabatic process is the one which involves no transfer of mass or heat of the substance , is referred to adiabatic process.

In this process , the temperature need not be constant ,

But only the heat is transferred into or out of the system .

Hence, from the given information of the question,.

The correct option is e. adiabatic process .

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

1.878g

Explanation:

Volume = 30.0ml

Density = 0.626gcm−3

Mass = ?

Be careful in this kind of questions to check for the units. In this case one has to remember 1 mL equal 1 cm³ so density = 0.626g/ml

The relationship between all three parameters is given by the equationn below;

Mass = Density * Volume

Mass = 0.626g/ml * 30 = 1.878g
