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.

PLEASE HELP MEEE!! I WILL MARK YOU AS BRAINLIEST AND EVERYTHING!! THIS IS DUE TODAY AND MY GRADES ARE AT STAKE!:(
irina [24]

Answer:

They will be 140 miles apart 8 hours after the first boy started the trip or 6 hours after the second boy started the trip.

Explanation:

x = the time that the first boy travels at 14 mph

x - 2 = the time the second boy travels at 14 mph

140 the distance between them

Since one travels north and the other east (their roads are perpendicular) the distance between them can be calculated using Pythagorean Theorem

(14*x)^2 + ((x-2)*14)^2 = 140^2

the solutions of the quadratic equation are

x1 = - 6 is not the solution since x > 0

x2 = 8 h is the solution

What is the primary force help suspension bridges use cables to hold there spans up
snow_tiger [21]

Explanation:

Suspension bridges, like the Golden Gate Bridge or the Brooklyn Bridge, use tension force as the primary source of force that cables use to hold their spans up. The supporting cables receive the tension forces of the bridge, and this same force passes to the anchorages and into the ground

What makes a clinical thermometer suitable for measuring small changes in body temperature? *
Nana76 [90]

Answer: Because of the fine bore of the tube.

Explanation:

Temperature is the degree of hotness and coldness. And thermometer is the instrument use to measure temperature.

The two most common types of themometric fluids for thermometer are alcohol and mercury.

What makes a clinical thermometer suitable for measuring small changes in body temperature is because of the fine bore of the tube which makes it possible for small temperature changes to cause large changes in the length of mercury columns, making the thermometer very sensitive to temperature changes.

The most prominent feature of the thermometer is the kink or constriction of bore near the bulb.
