Answer:
B) 2
Explanation:
Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.
The rule apply for the multiplication and division is :
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
The rule apply for the addition and subtraction is :
The least precise number present after the decimal point determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
(3.478-2.31) = 1.168 ≅ 1.17 (Rounded to least decimal digit)
(4.428-3.56) = 0.868 ≅ 0.87 (Rounded to least decimal digit)
So,
1.17 * 0.87 = 1.0 (Rounded to least significant)
Answer - two significant digits
Answer:
Strontium
Explanation:
The atomic number of strontium is 38.
It has 38 electrons.
It is alkaline earth metal. It has two valance electrons.
Strontium loses its two electrons and form cation with +2 charge.
Electronic configuration;
Sr₃₈ = [Kr] 5s²
The valance electrons present in 5s are lost by strontium atom and form Sr⁺² cation.
it is yellowish-white metal.
It is highly reactive.
It form salt with halogens.e.g
Sr + Br₂ → SrBr₂
IT react with oxygen and form oxide.
2Sr + O₂ → 2SrO
this oxide form hydroxide when react with water,
SrO + H₂O → Sr(OH)₂
With nitrogen it produced nitride,
3Sr + N₂ → Sr₃N₂
With acid like HCl,
Sr + 2HCl → SrCl₂ + H₂
It is a compound composed of sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl)
