Why is potassium and sodium considered as reactive metals?

2 answers:

4 0

As potassium is larger than sodium, potassium's valence electron is at a greater distance from the attractive nucleus and is so removed more easily than sodium's valence electron. As it is removed more easily, it requires less energy, and can be said to be more reactive.
Hopefully this helps you! Have a great day!

Answer:

because they are found freely in nature uncombined so they are highly reactive with other elements

A singly charged positive ion has a mass of 3.46 × 10−26 kg. After being accelerated through a potential difference of 215 V the

jasenka [17]

Answer:

1.8 cm

Explanation:

$m$ = mass of the singly charged positive ion = 3.46 x 10⁻²⁶ kg

$q$ = charge on the singly charged positive ion = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

$\Delta V$ =Potential difference through which the ion is accelerated = 215 V

$v$ = Speed of the ion

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy gained by ion = Electric potential energy lost

$(0.5) m v^{2} = q \Delta V\\(0.5) (3.46\times10^{-26}) v^{2} = (1.6\times10^{-19}) (215)\\(1.73\times10^{-26}) v^{2} = 344\times10^{-19}\\v = 4.5\times10^{4} ms^{-1}$

$r$ = Radius of the path followed by ion

$B$ = Magnitude of magnetic field = 0.522 T

the magnetic force on the ion provides the necessary centripetal force, hence

$qvB = \frac{mv^{2} }{r} \\qB = \frac{mv}{r}\\r =\frac{mv}{qB}\\r =\frac{(3.46\times10^{-26})(4.5\times10^{4})}{(1.6\times10^{-19})(0.522)}\\r = 0.018 m \\r = 1.8 cm$

A parallel plate capacitor can store electric charge and
electrical energy, and if the plates are far enough apart,
you can store your lunch in there too.

The mass of Tesla Model S is 2000 kg and its engine produces

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The ratio of the power generated by the engines are $\dfrac{2}{3}$

(b) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Tesla = 2000 Kg

Torque = 400 Nm

Mass of Mercedes = 1.5 M Tesla

The Benz engine produces 50% more torque than the Tesla.

We need to calculate the power generated by the engines 6 seconds after a start from rest

Using formula of power

$P=F\cdot v$

We know that,

$v=at$

$v=\dfrac{F}{m}t$

$v=\dfrac{\tau}{mr}t$

Put the value of F and v in equation (I)

$P=\dfrac{\tau}{r}\times\dfrac{\tau}{mr}t$

$P=\dfrac{\tau^2t}{mr^2}$

Here, r and t are same for both bodies.

$P\propto\dfrac{\tau^2}{m}$

We need to calculate the ratio of the power generated by the engines

Using formula of power

$\dfrac{P_{T}}{P_{B}}=\dfrac{\tau_{T}^2}{m_{T}}\times\dfrac{m_{B}}{\tau_{B}}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{P_{T}}{P_{B}}=\dfrac{400^2}{2000}\times\dfrac{3000}{600^2}$

$\dfrac{P_{T}}{P_{B}}=\dfrac{2}{3}$

Hence, The ratio of the power generated by the engines are $\dfrac{2}{3}$

An insulating plastic rod is charged by rubbing it with a wool cloth, and then brought to an initially neutral conducting metall

barxatty [35]

Answer:

A) is repelled by the sphere.

Explanation:

When a charged insulated rod is touched with an insulated conducting sphere , some charge on the rod gets transferred to the sphere . So they become similarly charged . We all know that there is repulsion when two similarly charged object are brought near to each other . Hence here too there will be repulsion between the rod and the sphere when the rod is brought near the sphere.
