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 pendulum of length L is suspended from the ceiling of an elevator. When the elevator is at rest the period of the pendulum is
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the pendulum falls freely the net acceleration due to gravity is zero.

As we know that the time period of simple pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of acceleration due to gravity, thus the time period becomes infinity.

What is the force of gravity between two 40.0kg masses that are separated by 3.00m?
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

f = g \times \frac{m1 \times m2}{ {d}^{2} }

f = 6.67 \times  {10}^{ - 11}  \times \frac{40 \times 40}{9}

A truck is carrying a refrigerator as shown in the figure. The height of the refrigerator is 158.0 cm, the width is 60.0 cm. The
kirza4 [7]

In order for the refrigerator not to tip over, the maximum acceleration of  1.86 m/s² must not be exceeded.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

The term acceleration has to do with the rate at which velocity changes with time.

We have to take the moments at the tipping point of rotation as follows;

Clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment

Hence;

F₂ * 1.58 m = F₁ * 0.67 m

The weight at half the width= 30 cm or 0.3 m

Height of refrigerator = 158 cm 0r 1.58 cm

Then;

m * a * 1.58 = m * 9.81 * 0.30

a = 1.86 m/s²

In order for the refrigerator not to tip over, the maximum acceleration of  1.86 m/s² must not be exceeded.

You are asked to calculate how long a new battery will last on a flashlight when the flashlight is turned on. how long should yo
valina [46]

Answer:

           Depends on the capacity of battery. Mostly our phones flashlight can be used up to 8 to 10hrs continuosly

Explanation:

Capacity of the battery is level to which battery is charged, &  amount of current drawn by the flashlight, you can calculate the answer yourself if u know the capacity of that light.

Moreover you can calculate this by using equation,

         E =Pt

So, for time

      t=E/P

Batteries are rated in Amp hours, like 10 amp hours will supply us 1 amp for 10 hours

2 amps will give us 5 hours

to learn more about lasting of flashlight,
