The nucleus of a atom is

Analyze: The metallic character of an element is determined by how readily it loses electrons. Elements that lose electrons most

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Group 1 or akali metals have the greatest metallic property.

Group 17 has the lowest metallic character.

C. As you move from right to lefton the periodic table, metallic character increases which is the ability to lose electrons. Ionization energy decrease as we move from right to left on the periodic table.

Explanation:

Akali metals in group 1 have the greatest metallic property and they are the most reactive metals. Francium metal on the group has the most metallic characteristics. It is rare and very radioactive. Group 17 has the lowest metallic character. This is because while moving across the period, the number of electrons in the outermost shell increases. This make it difficult for atoms to leave see electrons and become electropositive . Group 17 has the highest tendency of accepting electrons.

Ionization energy is the energy use to remove electron from an atom in gaseous stage. Ionization energy decrease as we move from right to left on the periodic table and metallic character increases as we move from right to left on the periodic table.

The Average Speed of the orbiting space shuttle is

maxonik [38]

Explanation:

It is given that, the Average Speed of the orbiting space shuttle is 17500 miles/hour.

We need to convert the speed in kilometers/ second

We know that,

1 mile = 1.609 km

or

1 km = 0.621 miles

1 hour = 3600 seconds

$17500\ \dfrac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}}=17500\ \dfrac{\text{miles}}{\text{h}}\times \dfrac{1\ h}{3600\ s}\\\\=17500\times \dfrac{\text{miles}}{3600\ s}$

Now cancel the miles in numerator.

$17500\times \dfrac{\text{miles}}{3600\ s}=17500\times \dfrac{\text{miles}}{3600\ s}\times \dfrac{1.609\ km}{1\ \text{miles}}\\\\=17500\times \dfrac{1.609}{3600}\ km/s\\\\=7.82\ km/s$
