How can Newton's Third Law of Motion be used to explain why it is difficult to walk on a slippery surface, such as ice?

E ground pushes you forward. But that interaction is friction. Reduce friction and it doesn't matter how strong your legs are, the surface is incapable of pushing you accordingly. The coefficient of static friction is very low so it is easy to slide your foot rather than push.

(a)-Use Lewis symbol store present there action that occurs between Ca and F atoms. (b)-What is the chemical formula of the most

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

(a) The Lewis structure is shown in the image below.

(b) $CaF_2$

(c) Calcium loses 2 electrons to 2 atoms of fluorine and these 2 atoms of fluorine accepts each electron to form ionic bond.

(d) Calcium atom loses electrons.

Explanation:

Calcium is the element of second group and forth period. The electronic configuration of Calcium is - 2, 8, 8, 2 or $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2$

There are 2 valence electrons of Calcium.

Fluorine is the element of group 17 and second period. The electronic configuration of the element fluorine is - 2, 7 or $1s^22s^22p^5$

There is 1 valence electron of fluorine.

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom is complete.

Thus, calcium loses 2 electrons to 2 atoms of fluorine and these 2 atoms of fluorine accepts each electron to form ionic bond. This is done in order that the octet of the atoms are complete and they become stable.

Thus, the formula of calcium chloride is $CaF_2$ .

(a) The Lewis structure is shown in the image below.

(b) $CaF_2$

(c) Calcium loses 2 electrons to 2 atoms of fluorine and these 2 atoms of fluorine accepts each electron to form ionic bond.

(d) Calcium atom loses electrons.

Which of the following measurements is equal to 150 dL?

MrRissso [65]

This is a case of metric system of measurements. The scale of the metric system only differs by a factor of 10. The scale (from greatest to least) is kiloliter, hectoliter, dekaliter, liter, deciliter, centiliter and milliliter. If the unit is 150 dL, and you want to find the equivalent dkL measurement, just move the decimal point 2 decimals places to the left (just follow the scale). The same procedure is done for the other metric units.

150 dL = 1.5 dkL
150 dL = 15 L
150 dL = 1,500 cL
150 dL = 15,000 mL

From the choices, the answer is letter C.

why is whenever one raised to the power of any exponent 1 and why is 0 raised to the power of any exponent 1

IceJOKER [234]

When you use exponents, think of it like this. 1 squared is 1 x 1. 1 cubed is 1 x 1 x 1. And 1 to the power of 4 is 1 x 1 x 1 x 1. And so on. You basically just multiply them by themselves. 0 to the power of any exponent is 1, well that's just a rule. It doesn't make much sense but it's easy to remember and I wouldn't worry about it.

Using P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2, 1 being the conditions initially and 2 being the secondary conditions…. always make sure you convert you units first , L=695.8262L
