An atom of carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost shell, which means that
<span>its ionic charge is 4+ or 4-
</span>Si is in same group as carbon so its also 4+ or 4-
Germanium is 4+.
Sn is also 2+ or 4+
Pb is usually +2
<span> The atomic number increases by one and the element becomes a different element. </span>
C) Fluorine is the most reactive among halogens
Answer:
2-4 minutes
Explanation:
Fastest changing temperature means larger change in temperature when subtracting final temperature from initial temperature in a given time period (given time period is 2 minutes for all the options)
For 0-2 minutes, our final temperature was 40 (at 2 min) and initial temperature was 20 (at 0 min), thus temperature change was only 20 C.
For 2-4, our final temperature was 80 (at 4 min) and initial temperature was 40 (at 2 min) thus temperature change was 40 C.
For 4-6, our final temperature was 100 (at 6 min) and initial temperature was 80 (at 4 min) thus temperature change was 20 C.
We are not given temperature at 8 min so option D is invalid.
As we can clearly see that in a given 2 minute period, option B has the fastest change because it changed 40C when compared to other options that changed only 20C from starting temperature.
Hope that makes sense.
