Why is it important foe scientists to know how many valence electrons a given element has

Physics
1 answer:
Vikentia [17]3 years ago
3 0
Because the number of valence electrons of an element determines the properties and in particular the reactivity of that element.

In fact, elements of the first group (i.e. only one valence electron) have high reactivity, because they can easily give away their valence electron to atoms of other elements forming bonds. On the contrary, elements of the 8th group (noble gases) have their outermost shell completely filled with electrons, so they do not have valence electrons, and they have little or no reactivity at all.

A ball is thro.d hit the grouvelocity)?
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The velocity of the ball is 3.52 m/s.

Explanation:

A projectile is any object that moves under the influence of gravity and momentum only. Examples are; a thrown ball, a fired bullet, a kicked ball, thrown javelin, etc.

Given that the ball was thrown vertically upward on the top of a skyscraper of  height 61.9 m. So that the velocity can be determined by;

      u = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g} }

Where: u is the velocity of the object, H is the height and g is the gravitational force on the object. Given that: H = 61.9 m and g = 10 m/s^{2}, then;

 u = \sqrt{\frac{2*61.9}{10} }

   = \sqrt{\frac{123.8}{10} }

u  = 3.5185

The velocity of the ball is 3.52 m/s.

When you hit a .27 kg volleyball the contact time is 50 ms and the average force is 125 N. If you serve the volleyball (from res

(A) P(v) = 0.135v

(B) P(h) = 0.234v

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Mass of the ball, m = 0.27kg

Force, F = 125N

angle of projection, θ = 30°

Let v be the velocity of the ball.

A) vertical component of the momentum of the volleyball

We know,

P(vertical) = mvsinθ

P(V) = 0.27 X v X sin 30°

P(V) = 0.27 X v X 0.5

P(V) = 0.135v

B) horizontal component of the momentum of the volleyball

We know,

P(Horizontal) = mvcosθ

P(h) = 0.27 X v X cos 30°

P(h) = 0.27 X v X 0.866

P(h) = 0.234v

Without using a micrometer screw gauge, how do I find the average diameter of a long piece of thin wire using a metre rule and a
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Wind the long piece of thin wire around the uniform glass rod multiple times, find the length of the total diameters using the metre ruler, and divide by the number of times you wound it around the rod.

Explanation:

Since the diameter of one long piece of thin wire is too thin to be measured by a metre ruler, you can wind it multiple times and push it side by side to get a length you can measure.

For example, if you wound it around 20 times and the total length of 20 diameters of the wire side-by-side is 2.0 cm, one winding, which is the diameter would be 2.0cm ÷ 20 = 0.10cm or 1mm.

Acceleration is equal to the initial velocity minus the final velocity, then divided by time.true or false
tatiyna

Almost true but not quite.

That would give you the negative of the actual acceleration.

It should be the other way around:

(final v) minus (initial v), then divide by time.

Match the type of boundary with it's characteristic
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Transform= not destroyed or created  

Divergent= crust created  

Convergent= crust destroyed

Explanation:

The plates move in the opposite or away from each other at a transforming plate boundary. The two platform borders are not produced or destroyed in this case. As both plates converge on each other and thus destroy the plates for converging plate boundaries. When the plate is divergent, both plates shift away from each other by opening up and solidification for a new crust.
