<h2>
Answers:</h2>
-The first direct detection of gravitational waves came in 2015
-The existence of gravitational waves is predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity
-Gravitational waves carry energy away from their sources of emission
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
Gravitational waves were discovered (theoretically) by Albert Einstein in 1916 and "observed" for the first time in direct form in 2015 (although the results were published in 2016).
These gravitational waves are fluctuations or disturbances of space-time produced by a massive accelerated body, modifying the distances and the dimensions of objects in an imperceptible way.
In this context, an excellent example is the system of two neutron stars that orbit high speeds, producing a deformation that propagates like a wave,<u> in the same way as when a stone is thrown into the water</u>. So, in this sense, gravitational waves carry energy away from their sources
.
Therefore, the correct options are D, E and F.
B explanation : they are both filled to the same pint
Answer:
Option b. Effective nuclear charge increases as we move to the right across a row in the periodic table
Explanation:
The <em>effective nuclear charge </em>is a measure of how strong the protons in the nucleus of an atom attract the outermost electrons of such atom.
The <em>effective nuclear charge</em> is the net positive charge experienced by valence electrons and is calculated (as an approximation) by the equation: Zeff = Z – S, where Z is the atomic number and S is the number of shielding electrons.
The shielding electrons are those electrons in between the interesting electrons and the nucleus of the atom.
Since the shielding electrons are closer to the nucleus, they repel the outermost electrons and so cancel some of the attraction exerted by the positive charge of the nucleus, meaning that the outermost electrons feel less the efect of attraction of the protons. That is why in the equation of Zeff, the shielding electrons (S) subtract the total from the atomic number Z.
The <em>effective nuclear charge</em>, then, is responsible for some properties and trends in the periodic table. Here, you can see how this explains the trend of the atomic radius (size of the atom) accross a row in the periodic table.
- As the<em> effective nuclear charge</em> is larger, in a same row of the periodic table, the shielding effect is lower, the outermost electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus, and the size of the atoms decrease. That is why as we move to the right in the periodic table, the size of the atoms decrease.
