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.

Diffusion and osmosis are forms of passive transport.<br><br> True<br> False
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

True. Diffusion and osmosis are forms of passive transport.

Explanation:

In diffusion, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached.

In osmosis, a semipermeable membrane is present, so only the solvent molecules are free to move to equalize concentration.

A bat hits a moving baseball. If the bat delivers a net eastward impulse of 1.3 N-s and the ball starts with an initial horizont
Georgia [21]

Answer:

141.30grams

Explanation:

First, denote our known values;

J=1.3N-s(+,east)\\u=-3.8ms^-^1(-,west)\\v=5.4ms^-^1(+,east)\\m=?

Mass is impulse divided by change in velocity:

m=\frac{J}{v-u}\\=\frac{1.3}{5.4--3.8}\\\\=\frac{1.3}{9.2}\\=0.1413Kgs

Hence, the mass of the ball is 141.30grams
