The law of conservation of mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be transformed/transferred from one form to another.
Answer:
6.25 ×10^10 Hz
Explanation:
If the distance between five successive crests is 2.4 cm, then the distance between each crest is 2.4/5 = 0.48 cm or 0.0048 m or 4.8 ×10^-3 m
Since the velocity of a wave is given by;
v= λf
Where;
λ= wavelength of the wave
f= frequency of the wave
But λ= distance between successive crests = 4.8 ×10^-3 m
v= 3×10^8 ms-1 (speed of electromagnetic waves in vacuum)
f= v/λ
f= 3×10^8 ms-1/4.8 ×10^-3 m
f= 0.625 ×10^11 Hz
f= 6.25 ×10^10 Hz
Answer:
Fluorine is a <em>non-metal, fills its shell by gaining one electron </em>and<em> becomes a negatively charged ion.</em>
Explanation:
Fluorine have seven electrons in its outermost shell. This means that fluorine is located in Group 17(<em>Halogens</em>) in the Periodic Table. Note that halogens are non-metal elements. So fluorine is a non-metal.
Fluorine fills its shell by gaining one electron because it only needs one electron to achieve stable octet electron arrangement. ( it's easier to gain one electron than to lose all seven electrons in the outermost shell)
As fluorine atom gain one electron to achieve stable octet electron arrangement, its number of electrons becomes greater than its number of protons. So it becomes a negatively charged ion.
Mendeleev arranged the elements in his periodic table in order of increasing atomic mass.
