Answer:

In seismology, the epicenter refers to the point on the surface of the Earth directly above the focus or a hypocenter, that is, the point where an underground explosion or an earthquake originates. In the given case, the recording station has demonstrated that the epicenter of the recent earthquake was 250 kilometers away, this shows that epicenter was situated somewhere on a circle centered at the recording station within a radius of 250 kilometers.

State general trend for metal properties as you go left to right across a period
qwelly [4]

Periodic trends are specific patterns that are present in the periodic table that illustrate different aspects of a certain element, including its size and its electronic properties. Major periodic trends include: electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, atomic radius, melting point, and metallic character. Periodic trends, arising from the arrangement of the periodic table, provide chemists with an invaluable tool to quickly predict an element's properties. These trends exist because of the similar atomic structure of the elements within their respective group families or periods, and because of the periodic nature of the elements.

Electronegativity Trends

Electronegativity can be understood as a chemical property describing an atom's ability to attract and bind with electrons. Because electronegativity is a qualitative property, there is no standardized method for calculating electronegativity. However, the most common scale for quantifying electronegativity is the Pauling scale (Table A2), named after the chemist Linus Pauling. The numbers assigned by the Pauling scale are dimensionless due to the qualitative nature of electronegativity. Electronegativity values for each element can be found on certain periodic tables. An example is provided below.


From left to right across a period of elements, electronegativity increases. If the valence shell of an atom is less than half full, it requires less energy to lose an electron than to gain one. Conversely, if the valence shell is more than half full, it is easier to pull an electron into the valence shell than to donate one.

From top to bottom down a group, electronegativity decreases. This is because atomic number increases down a group, and thus there is an increased distance between the valence electrons and nucleus, or a greater atomic radius.

Important exceptions of the above rules include the noble gases, lanthanides, and actinides. The noble gases possess a complete valence shell and do not usually attract electrons. The lanthanides and actinides possess more complicated chemistry that does not generally follow any trends. Therefore, noble gases, lanthanides, and actinides do not have electronegativity values.

As for the transition metals, although they have electronegativity values, there is little variance among them across the period and up and down a group. This is because their metallic properties affect their ability to attract electrons as easily as the other elements.

According to these two general trends, the most electronegative element is fluorine, with 3.98 Pauling units.

Which two changes would increase the gravitational force between two
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

B. Increase the mass of one of the objects.

E. Decrease the distance between the objects.

Explanation:

To effect an increase in the gravitational force between two objects, the mass of both objects should be increased and the distance between them reduced.

This is derived from the Newton's law of universal gravitation:

  • It states that "the force of gravity between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them".

Therefore, if the mass of the two bodies are increased and the distance between them reduced, the gravitational force of attraction will increase.
