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 40.0 kg child is in a swing that is attached to ropes 2.00 m long. Find the gravitational potential energy associated with the
o-na [289]

Answer:

A. As the ropes are horizontal the child has travelled 2m of vertical displacement from his lowest position.

Gpe @ A=mgh=40*9.81*2=784.8J

B. At 30degree vertical angle the vertical displacement from lowest position is given by

2-2cos(30)=2-1.73=0.27m

Gpe @B= 40*9.81*0.27=106 J

C: at the bottom of circular arc it's Gpe is zero relative to lowest position as bottom of arc itself is lowest position.

How to do this question
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

64°

Explanation:

The triangle is an isosceles triangles (both legs are equal to the radius of the circle), so that means the base angles are the same.

Angles of a triangle add up to 180°, so:

128 + 2x = 180

2x = 52

x = 26

∠1 is complementary to the base angle, so:

∠1 = 90 − 26

∠1 = 64

A large vessel of the diameter of 14 mm divides into two identical smaller vessels but the velocity of blood in
ycow [4]

Answer:

the diameter of the smaller vessels is 9.90 mm

Explanation:

The computation of the diameter of the smaller vessels is given below;

Given that

The larger vessel of the diameter is 14mm

So,

d1 = 7 mm

let us assume the diameter of the smaller artery is d2

Now we used the equation of continuity i.e.

v × pi × d1^2 = 2 × v × pi × d2^2

14^2 = 2 × d2^2

d2 = 9.90 mm

Hence, the diameter of the smaller vessels is 9.90 mm
