Answer:

carbon and silicon

Explanation:

Various groups of elements in the periodic table have different outermost shell electron configurations. Actually, elements are classified into groups on the basis of the number of electrons on the outermost shell of those elements. All elements with the same number of electrons on their outermost shell belong to the same group in the periodic table.

For elements in group 14, they all have four electrons on their outermost shell. Their general outer electron configuration is ns2 np2 as shown in the question. Two prominent members of this group are carbon and silicon. This ns2 np2 is the ground state outer electron configuration of all group 14 elements in the periodic table.

A chunk of ice breaks off a glacier and falls 30.0 m before it hits the water. Assuming it falls freely (there is no air resista

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

The ice chunk will take 2.47 seconds to hit the water.

Explanation:

Height from which ice chunk fell = h = 30.0 m

Initial velocity of the ice chunk = u = 0 m/s

Time taken by ice chunk to cover 30.0 m of height = t

Acceleration due to gravity = g $9.8m/s^2$

Using second equation of motion ;

$h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$30.0 m=0 m/s\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8 m/s^2\times t^2$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{30.0m/s\times 2}{9.8 m/s^2}}2.47 s$

The ice chunk will take 2.47 seconds to hit the water.

In a DNA sample, 15% of the bases are thymine (T). What percentage of the bases in this sample are cytosine (C)?

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

C) 35%

Explanation:

Thymine pairs with adenine. If thymine is 15% then so would adenine be 15%. That leaves the reaminder to be 70%. Cytosine pairs with guanine, thereby, they would each be 35%.
