<h2>Two Elements have similar Characteristics </h2>

Two elements have similar characteristics when they relate to the same family which indicates that they have placed in the same group in the periodic table. There are only those elements which have same properties that are present in the same group. This is because there are same properties along the same group.

Their valency also remains same along the same group. For instance, sodium (Na) and lithium (Li) are present in the same group. They have same valency which is 1 and other properties as well. Good example are electronegativity, density, melting point, boiling point, and many other features.

What causes convection currents, and what do they do?
frez [133]

Answer:

Convection currents are the result of different heating. Lighter material (warm) rises while heavier (cold) material sinks. This movement of the materials is what causes convection currents! (BTW, it happens in water, in the atmosphere, and in the mantle of Earth!

Explanation:

I hope this helps a little! :)

This exercise uses the radioactive decay model. After 3 days a sample of radon-222 has decayed to 58% of its original amount. (a
Vadim26 [7]

Answer: a) 3.85 days

b) 10.54 days

Explanation:-

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = ?

t = time taken for decomposition  = 3 days

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100 g

a - x = amount left after decay process  = \frac{58}{100}\times 100=58g

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

k=\frac{2.303}{3}\log\frac{100}{58}

k=0.18days^{-1}

a) Half-life of radon-222:

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{0.18}=3.85days

Thus half-life of radon-222 is 3.85 days.

b) Time taken for the sample to decay to 15% of its original amount:

where,

k = rate constant  = 0.18days^{-1}

t = time taken for decomposition  = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100 g

a - x = amount left after decay process  = \frac{15}{100}\times 100=15g

t=\frac{2.303}{0.18}\log\frac{100}{15}

t=10.54days

Thus it will take 10.54 days for the sample to decay to 15% of its original amount.

A 3.50 cm tall object is held 24.8 cm from a lens of focal length 16.0 cm. What is the image height?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

<h2>6.36 cm</h2>

Explanation:

Using the formula to first get the image distance

1/f = 1/u+1/v

f = focal length of the lens

u = object distance

v = image distance

Given f = 16.0 cm, u = 24.8 cm

1/v = 1/16 - 1/24.8

1/v = 0.0625-0.04032

1/v = 0.02218

v = 1/0.02218

v = 45.09 cm

To get the image height, we will us the magnification formula.

Mag = v/u = Hi/H

Hi = image height = ?

H = object height = 3.50 cm

45.09/24.8 = Hi/3.50

Hi = (45.09*3.50)/24.8

Hi = 6.36 cm

The image height is 6.36 cm
