Answer:

a . eight tenths of her cookies

Explanation:

Let the total number of Lakesha's cookies be represented by x.

So that;

She gave three tenths to Bailey = \frac{3}{10} of x

                                                     = \frac{3x}{10}

She gave five tenths to Helen = \frac{5}{10} of x

                                                  = \frac{5x}{10}

Fraction of Lakesha's cookies given away = \frac{3x}{10} + \frac{5x}{10}

                                                      = \frac{3x+ 5x}{10}

                                                      = \frac{8x}{10}

Thus, the fraction of cookies given away by Lakesha is \frac{8}{10}.

Some atoms are exceptions to the octet rule by having an expanded octet. Which characteristic is needed for an atom to have an e
Len [333]

Answer: The correct option would be A.

Explanation: The main group elements which make more bonds than that was predicted from the octet rule are supposed to have expanded octet.

These elements tend to have more than 8 valence electrons after bonding and this can be achieved when we have empty d-orbitals.

When we have empty p-orbitals, total number of valence electrons than can be occupied will be 8.

Electronic configuration when valence shell's empty p-orbitals are fully filled = ns^2np^6

which means that a total of 8 electrons can be occupied which does not satisfy expanded octet rule.

Example of molecule showing expanded octet rule is given in the image. Here, after bonding Phosphorous has 10 electrons which is occupied in empty d-orbitals.

In a simplified model of a hydrogen atom, the electron moves around the proton nucleus in a circular orbit of radius 0.53 × x10−
sergiy2304 [10]

the force between the electron and the proton.
a) Use F = k * q1 * q2 / d² 
where k = 8.99e9 N·m²/C² 
and q1 = -1.602e-19 C (electron) 
and q2 = 1.602e-19 C (proton) 
and d = distance between point charges = 0.53e-10 m 
The negative result indicates "attraction". 

the radial acceleration of the electron. 
b) Here, just use F = ma 
where F was found above, and 
m = mass of electron = 9.11e-31kg, if memory serves 
a = radial acceleration 

the speed of the electron. 
c) Now use a = v² / r 
where a was found above 
and r was given 

<span> the period of the circular motion.</span>
d) period T = 2π / ω = 2πr / v 
where v was found above 
and r was given
