Since nonmetals have five, six, or seven electrons in their valence shells, it takes less energy to gain the necessary electrons, and therefore form anions.

What are the basics of chemistry

Novay_Z [31]

In studying chemistry, one should learn how to read the periodic table and periodic trends in the table.. Of course, you should also know the abbreviations of each element in it so that you can identify what element is in chemical structures. Memorizing and knowing it by heart is the best way. You should also study what we call chemical nomenclature which is naming combinations of elements. Elements when combined may form ionic compounds, bonds or acids. Knowing what element reacts with another will also be necessary that's why the concept of chemical reactions must be further studied.

Earth is approximately 1.5 x 10^8 km from the sun the. How far is earth from the sun meters

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

${ \tt{1 \: km = 1000m}} \\ { \tt{1.5 \times {10}^{8} km = (\frac{1.5 \times {10}^{8} \times 1000 }{1} )m}} \\ = 1.5 \times {10}^{11} \: metres$

Wich statement best describes the difference between strong nuclear forces and weak nuclear forces

Vika [28.1K]

Answer: option D is right.

Explanation: There are four types of fundamental forces in nature.These are named as gravitational force,electromagnetic force,strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force.

As per the question we have to understand the role of strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force.

An atom consists of a nucleus surrounded by extra nuclear part consisting of electrons in various orbits.The nucleus contains two basic particles called protons and neutrons .Protons are positively charged while neutrons are neutral.Protons being positively charged will impart repulsive force on each other and may come out of the nucleus.But the nucleus is stable.That is due to the strong nuclear force.

Strong nuclear force is a spin dependent and charge independent force which comes into existence due to the mutual interaction of gluons which binds the protons and neutrons .Hence it is attractive in nature.It's 100 times more stronger than electromagnetic force also.

Weak nuclear force comes into existence during radio -active decay .This force is due to the exchange of ' w' and 'z' bosons[the particles like protons and neutrons having integral or zero spin] which are heavier in nature.The role of it is to change protons into neutrons and vice versa.Its a short range force.

Hence the option D is right.
