Answer:

Na has the most similar configuration.

Explanation:

Na electron configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹ or [Ne] 3s₁

Mg electron configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s² or [Ne] 3s²

Be electron configuration: 1s²2s² or [He] 2s²

This is because Na and Mg are right next to each other in the same period (horizontal).

What is greatest velocity? How do you get greatest velocity?

aksik [14]

Answer:

Maximum velocity is reached when you stop accelerating, because this is when you can't gain anymore speed, i.e. acceleration is zero. In other words the derivative of velocity is equal to zero. However, zero acceleration can also result in minimum velocity because you can't lose any more speed.

An ethylene gas torch requires 300 L of gas at 0.8 atm. What will be the pressure of the gas if ethylene is supplied by a 200.0

Vlad [161]

Answer:

1.2 atm

Explanation:

Given data

Volume of the gas in the tank (V₁): 200.0 L

Pressure of ethylene gas in the tank (P₁): ?

Volume of the gas in the torch (V₂): 300 L

Pressure of the gas in the torch (P₂): 0.8 atm

If we consider ethylene gas to be an ideal gas, we can find the pressure of ethylene gas in the tank using Boyle's law.

$P_1 \times V_1 = P_2 \times V_2\\P_1 = \frac{P_2 \times V_2}{V_1} = \frac{0.8atm \times 300L}{200.0L} = 1.2 atm$

Yes, Ionic bonds do not share electrons. Polar covalent bonds share electrons they just share them unevenly due to the polarity.
