Answer:

D. In both, vibrations occur in a parallel direction to the direction of the wave.

Explanation:

It is not true that in both mechanical and electromagnetic waves, vibrations occur in parallel direction to the direction of the wave.

As with all waves, they are disturbances that transfers energy without moving the materials of the medium.

Electromagnetic waves have only one way of propagation which is a vibration in both parallel and longitudinal direction.
Mechanical waves can be propagated either in a parallel direction or longitudinal direction and not both.

Answer: Formation of a stable Duplet or Octet structure

Explanation:

Energy levels refers to the definite amount of energies that electrons can have when occupying specific orbitals.

Examples are:

Level 1 as in 1s

Level 2 as in 2s, 2p

Level 3 as in 3s 3p 3d

Level 4 as in 4s 4p 4d 4f

Level 5 as in 5s .......

Level 6 as in 6s .........

Electrons can be excited to higher energy levels by absorbing energy from the surroundings during chemical reactions and so forming chemical bonds like ionic, covalent etc.

A perfect example is Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) in Sodium chloride (NaCl)

Sodium has atomic number of 11, so energy level is 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s1

Chlorine has atomic number of 17, so energy level is 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p5

You will notice that the both Na and Cl, has electrons in the energy level 3. Then, the bond formed must be one that lead to the formation of a OCTET structure: as in Na gives off its 3s1 electron TO Cl.

Thus, Cl now becomes 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6 - an OCTET STRUCTURE (with completely filled outershell and full energy level 3) in NACl.

So, a duplet or Octet structure is the answer

Sucrose is very soluble in water. at 25◦c, 211.4 grams of sucrose will dissolve in 100 g of water. given that the density of the

stiv31 [10]

Molarity of solution is mathematically expressed as,
M = $\frac{x\text{weight of solute(g)}}{\text{Molecular weight X Volume of solution(l)}}$

We know that volume = mass/density
Given: mass of solution = 100 g, Density = 1.34 g/ml
∴ volume = 100/1.34 = 88.49 ml = 0.08849 l

Also, we know that molecular weight of sucrose = 342.3 g/mol
∴M = $\frac{x\text{211.4}}{\text{342.3 X 0.08849}}$
= 6.979 M

Thus, molarity of solution is 6.979 M
