A series circuit has only one path for current,
while a parallel circuit has more than one.
The answer would be:
B. Chlorine, iodine and Fluorine
Barium has 2 valence electrons. To satisfy the BaX₂ , this would mean that Barium will need to give one of each of its electrons. The elements that need 1 electron would be those that have 7 valence electrons to complete the octet. These elements would fall in group 7 or halogens. Chlorine, iodine and fluorine are all in Group 7, so this would be the best choice.
Most geologists accept radiometric dating techniques as valid because radioactive elements decay at a constant and measurable rate.
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation:</u>
Scientists prefer radioactive dating to carbon dating because it is more accurate in measuring. The analysis depends upon the radioactive decay of radioactive isotopes of any matter in a given rock or soil.
The parent atoms and daughter atoms are compared while studying, and hence age can be calculated easily. Radioactive decay depends upon the given half-life of the atom, which is a constant and is known. So, it would be very easy to calculate the number of progeny atoms and parent atoms and find out their age.
The answer is C (the same number of valence electrons)
