The element is most likely PHOSPHORUS.

Phosphorus is an element with an atomic number of 15. The electronic configuration of the element is 2,8,5. This configuration implies that, each atom of phosphorus has three sub shell, the first sub shell has 2 electrons, the second has 8 electrons while the outermost sub shell has 5 electrons. The electrons in the outermost shell are also called the valence shell. Thus, phosphorus has 5 electrons in its valence shell.

What causes the jet stream to move farther south?
Anni [7]
<span>Jet streams are the major means of transport for weather systems.  A jet stream is an area of strong winds ranging from 120-250 mph that can be thousands of miles long, a couple of hundred miles across and a few miles deep.  Jet streams usually sit at the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere at a level called the tropopause.  This means most jet streams are about 6-9 miles off the ground. Figure A is a cross section of a jet stream.
</span>

The dynamics of jet streams are actually quite complicated, so this is a very simplified version of what creates jets.  The basic idea that drives jet formation is this:  a strong horizontal temperature contrast, like the one between the North Pole and the equator, causes a dramatic increase in horizontal wind speed with height.  Therefore, a jet stream forms directly over the center of the strongest area of horizontal temperature difference, or the front.  As a general rule, a strong front has a jet stream directly above it that is parallel to it.  Figure B shows that jet streams are positioned just below the tropopause (the red lines) and above the fronts, in this case, the boundaries between two circulation cells carrying air of different temperatures.

Calculate the wavelength of an electron (m = 9.11 x 10-28 g) moving at 3.66 x 100 m/s. A) 1.81 x 10-10 m B) 2.76 x 10-9 m C) 5.0
inna [77]

Answer:

option e = 1.99 × 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of electron = 9.11 × 10⁻²⁸ g   or 9.11 × 10⁻³¹ Kg

Velocity = 3.66 × 100 m/s

Wavelength = ?

Solution:

Formula:

λ  = h / m. v

λ  = wavelength

h = planck's constant

m = mass

v = velocity

Now we will put the values in equation

λ  = h / m. v

λ  =  6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Kg. m²/s  / 3.66 × 100 m/s . 9.11 × 10⁻³¹ Kg

λ  =  6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Kg. m²/s / 3334.26  × 10⁻³¹ Kg .m/s

λ  = 1.99 × 10⁻⁶ m

Does observing a physical property of a substance change the identity of the substance? Explain.
nikklg [1K]
No because observing a physical property of a substance is just observing like color or texture. They don't change. Physical properties do not change the composition of a substance and neither do physical changes.
