Answer:

Answer is: c. It must lose two electrons and become an ion.

Magnesium (Mg) is metal from 2. group of Periodic table of elements and has low ionisation energy and electronegativity, which means it easily lose valence electons (two valence electrons).

Magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.

Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

A whale swims due east for a distance of 6.9 km, turns around and goes due west for 1.8 km and finally turns around again and heads 3.7 km due east. (a) What is the total distance traveled by the whale? (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the displacement of the whale?

Answer:

(a) Distance = 12.4 km

(b) Displacement = 8.8 km due east

Explanation:

Consider east direction as positive and west direction as negative.

Given:

The motion is along the east-west line.

The whale first swims 6.9 km due east, then 1.8 km due west and again 3.7 km due east.

(a)

Distance traveled by the whale is equal to the sum of the lengths of all the distances traveled. Therefore,

Distance traveled = 6.9 km + 1.8 km + 3.7 km = 12.4 km

Therefore, the distance traveled by the whale is 12.4 km.

(b)

Displacement of the whale is given by considering the sign of each of the individual displacements. Therefore,

Displacement of the whale = (+6.9 km) + (-1.8 km) + (+3.7 km)

Displacement of the whale = 6.9 km - 1.8 km + 3.7 km = 8.8 km

The answer is positive. So, the direction is due east.

Therefore, the displacement of the whale is <u>8.8 km due east.</u>

Statistical time division multiplexing does not require the capacity of the circuit to be equal to the sum of the combined circu

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The answer is True

Explanation:

Statistical Multiplexing is considered an example of communication link sharing which makes it comparable to DBA (Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation). Here, communication channels are broken down into data streams to optimize the communication process.

In Statistical Time-division Multiplexing, time slots are allocated to data streams for communication optimization. This method makes sure that no time slot or bandwidth is wasted.

Hence, the sum of combined circuits must not be equal to the capacity of the circuit to work effectively.
