Why are valence electrons so important?

Physics
1 answer:
natka813 [3]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

B. They are the electrons that interact with other atoms.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. These electrons are used by atoms to form bonds with other atoms during chemical bonding.

  • So, the basis by which atoms interacts with one another is through the valence electrons.
  • Without the valence electrons, atomic combination to form compounds would not be possible.
  • Valence electrons are the most loosely held electrons and they have the lowest ionization energy.

Unpolarized light passes through a vertical polarizing filter, emerging with an intensity I0. The light then passes through a ho
antiseptic1488 [7]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Malus' law. Malus' law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized ray of light that passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:

I = I_0 cos^2(\theta)

I_0 = Indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the Polarizer,

I = The resulting intensity, and

\theta = Indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.

There is 3 polarizer, then

For the exit of the first polarizer we have that the intensity is,

I_2 = I_0cos^2(45)

For the third polarizer then we have,

I_3 = I_2 cos^{2}(45)

Replacing with the first equation,

I_3 =  I_0cos^2(45)cos^{2}(45)

I_3 = I_0 (\frac{1}{2})(\frac{1}{2})

I_3 = I_0 \frac{1}{4}

Therefore the transmitted intensity now is \frac{1}{4} of the initial intensity.

Example of a balanced force
Goryan [66]
An example of a balanced force would be a book sitting on a shelf untouched.

Isaac Newton’s First Law of Motion states that an object at motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest until acted on by an unbalanced force. A book sitting still is an example of a balanced force because nothing is acting on it; its potential energy is stored while it’s at rest. For this book to become an unbalanced force, an outside force would have to occur (i.e pushing the book or dropping it) that causes it to not be in a state of stillness.
