That prediction is not correct because Xenon is extremely stable; column 18 of the periodic table contains the noble gasses, which are stable because their outer-most energy levels are completely filled. Having the octet (8) of valence electrons means that the element no longer needs to lose or gain electrons to gain stability.
The column 17 elements are unstable because they only have one valence electron short of the stable octet configuration of the noble gasses.
In a series circuit, there is only one path for current to take.
If more bulbs are added, then the same current loses more energy,
making heat and light on its way through more bulbs, so the ones that
were there before become dimmer.
Answer:
c. Solar eclipses would be much more frequent.
Explanation:
The <u>ecliptic plane</u> is the apparent orbit that the sun describes around the earth (although it is the earth that orbits the sun), is the path the sun follows in earth's sky.
A <u>solar eclipse</u> occurs when the moon gets between the earth and the sun, so a shadow is cast on the earth because the light from the sun is blocked.
The reason why solar eclipses are not very frequent is because the moon's orbital plane is not in the same plane as the orbit of the earth around the sun, but rather that it is somewhat inclined with respect to it.
So <u>if both orbits were aligned, the moon would interpose between the sun and the earth more frequently, producing more solar eclipses.</u>
So, if the moon's orbital plane were exacly the same as the ecliptic plane solar eclipses would be more frequent.
the answer is: c.
It's commonly referred to as an electric current.
Answer: option B
Explanation: when a neutral atom loses an electron or gains a positive charge electron, it becomes a positive ion (positively charged) and when an neutral atom gains an electronic charge or losses a positive charge electron, it becomes a negative ion (negatively charged).
