Answer:

Explanation:

Among the halogens given in this problem, iodine has the lowest attraction for electrons.

This property is known as electronegativity.

Electronegativity is expressed as the relative tendency with which the atoms of the element attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.

As you go down the periodic group the electronegativity decreases.
The most electronegative element on the periodic table is fluorine.
Down the group, iodine is the least electronegative
This is due to the large size of its atom.

A cat travels 240 meters in 30 seconds, and a sprinter travels 100 meters in 9.5 seconds. Which is traveling faster, the cat or

joja [24]

Answer:

The cat

Explanation:

1) You need to find how many meters per second each thing is sprinting, so you can divide the meters by seconds for each.

$\frac{240}{30} = 8 m/s\\\frac{100}{9.5} = around 10.5 m/s$

2) Per second, the sprinter is able to achieve 8 meters, while the cat can do around 10.5 meters. 10.5 is greater than 8, making the cat faster than the sprinter.

What are the purposes of theories in science?

Leto [7]

Answer:

Scientific theories are testable and make falsifiable predictions. They describe the causes of a particular natural phenomenon and are used to explain and predict aspects of the physical universe or specific areas of inquiry (for example, electricity, chemistry, and astronomy).

A good theory in the theoretical sense is (1) consistent with empirical observations; is (2) precise, (3) parsimonious, (4) explanatorily broad, and (5) falsifiable; and (6) promotes scientific progress (among others; Table 1.1).
