The change that would need to be made to the slit spacing in order to see a diffraction pattern is bending, because in understanding why light behaves like a wave, it is the interference and diffraction were the phenomena distinguish waves from particles but waves are the only one can interfere and diffract while particles do not. The light bends around obstacles or cylinder like waves do, then it is bending which cause and resulted in the single slit diffraction pattern.
1) in periodic acid (HIO₄), iodine has oxidation number +7, hydrogen has oxidation number +1, oxygen has -2, compound has neutral charge:
+1 + x + 4 · (-2) = 0.
x = +7.
2) in molecule of iodine (I₂), iodine has oxidation number 0, because iodine is nonpolar molecule.
3) in sodium iodide (NaI), iodine has oxidation number -1, sodium has oxidation number +1:
+1 + x = 0.
x = -1.
4) in iodic acid (HIO₃), iodine has oxidation number +5, hydrogen has oxidation number +1, oxygen has -2, compound has neutral charge:
+1 + x + 3 · (-2) = 0.
x = +5.
Answer: If the outermost shell has 1–4 electrons, it is a metal.
If the outermost shell has 5–7 electrons, it is a non-metal.
Remember the acronym "Oil Rig". Oxidation is loss, Reduction is gain of electrons. Calcium is losing electrons so it's an oxidation reaction.
Answer: The specific heat of the unknown metal is 
Explanation:
The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.
Q = Heat absorbed=
Joules
m= mass of substance = 86.8 g
c = specific heat capacity = ?
Initial temperature of the water = 
Final temperature of the water = 
Change in temperature ,
Putting in the values, we get:
The specific heat of the unknown metal is
