A small piece of aluminum (atomic number 13) contains 10^15 atoms (The atomic number is the number of protons; it determines the

(positive) electric charge of the nucleus and, thus, the number of electrons in a neutral atom.) If the piece of aluminum has a net positive charge of 3.0 uc what fraction of the electrons that the aluminum had when it was neutral would have had to be lost?

Answer:

3 micro coulombs = 3 * 10E-6 coulombs     charge of aluminum

13 * 10E15 * 1.6 * 10E-19 = 2.08 E-3 Coulombs - charge of atoms in Al

3 * 10E-6 / 2.08 * E-3 = 1.44 * E-3 = .00144 = .144 %

.00144 of the original electrons would have to be lost

Which element has atoms with valence electrons in a higher energy level than those of calcium (Ca)?
enyata [817]

Here, we are required to determine which element has atoms with Valence electrons in a higher energy level than those of calcium.

The Valence electrons of the Caesium, Cs atoms has higher energy level than those of Calcium.

First, we need to determine the electronic configuration of each of the elements

  • Therefore the Calcium electron configuration will be:
  • 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²

  • Therefore, for Cs Electron Configuration:
  • 1s² 2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰ 4s²4p⁶4d¹⁰ 5s²5p⁶ 6s¹
  • Therefore, For lithium, The electron configuration of lithium is :
  • 1s²2s¹

  • For oxygen, Therefore the O electron configuration will be:
  • 1s²2s²2p⁴

  • For bromine, the electronic configuration is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p⁵

Among the elements in the option, the Valence electrons of the Caesium, Cs atoms has higher energy level than those of Calcium.

This is so because the only Valence electron of Cs is located in the 6s orbital and as such has the highest energy level amongst all of the elements.

If a person whirls an object horizontally in a counter clockwise direction and the string breaks at point P as shown, what path
Nata [24]

when an object is revolving in circular path then its velocity is always along the tangent of the circular path

so while moving in circular path if the string is break then due to law of inertia the object will always move in the direction of initial motion

As we know that as per law of inertia if an object will not change its state of motion or state of rest until some external force will act on it.

So here also the object will move along its tangential direction once the string will break

so here the correct path will be

Stella [2.4K]

(1) Scientists generally agree that Earth is getting warmer due to what's called the greenhouse effect. (2) A greenhouse stays warm because sunlight and heat coming through the glass roof are mostly trapped. (3) The heat doesn't radiate back into the atmosphere because it's held in by the glass. (4) Something like that happens on Earth. (5) The atmosphere acts like a blanket that keeps the Sun's heat from leaking away into space.

What is the main conclusion you are to draw from this paragraph?

A. The atmosphere is what keeps the planet warm.
B. The greenhouse effect is changing Earth's atmosphere.
C. The sun's heat can easily leak away out into space.
D. Greenhouses help most plants to grow more quickly.

Examine the lightbulbs in the circuit below. Write a sentence explaining what would happen if lightbulb A burned out. Repeat thi
tatiyna

If the lightbulb A in the circuit shown in the image burned out, the path for the  current to flow is disrupted because one of its terminals is connected direct to the source. So, there will be no current through the lightbulbs B, C, and D, and they will turn off. Similarly it will happen, if the lightbulb D burned out.

If the lightbulb B burned out the current will continue circulating through the lightbulbs A, C, and D, because lightbulb B is connected in parallel. Similarly it will happen, if the lightbulb C burned out.

Speakers A and B are vibrating in phase. They are directly facing each other, are 8.2 m apart, and are each playing a 78.0 Hz to
Stels [109]

Answer:6.298,4.1,1.9015

Explanation:

Wavelength=\frac{velocity of sound }{frequency}

=\frac{343}{78}=4.397 m

Distance of 3rd speaker from speaker A is x

From B 78-x

Difference between the distances must be a whole number of wavelengths

First

x-\left ( 8.2-x\right )=4.397    for 1 st wavelength

2x=8.2+4.397=12.597

x=6.298m

second

For zero wavelength

x-\left ( 8.2-x\right )=0

2x=8.2

x=4.1m

Third

\left ( 8.2-x\right )-x=4.397

x=1.9015 m
