Answer : 4. "Both B & C"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Both B & C Explanation: Why Water Is Not an Element : An element is a substance consisting of only one type of atom. Water consists of two types of atoms: hydrogen and oxygen.   water is both a molecule and a compound : A compound forms whenever two or more atoms form chemical bonds with each other. The chemical formula for water is H2O, which means each molecule of water consists of one oxygen atom chemically bonded to two hydrogen atoms. Thus, water is a compound.   It's also a molecule, which is any chemical species formed by two or more atoms chemically bonded to each other. The terms molecule and compound mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably.   Hence, water is both a molecule and a compound.

Answer : 1. "the existence of unpaired electrons in the valence shell"
Explanation :

Answer: A) the existence of unpaired electrons in the valence shell Explanation: When atoms react they do so in order to reach the lowest energy, which is the most stable. The electrons orbitals will overlap in the way that reduces the energy the most. Orbitals of similar energy will produce the greatest stabilisation.The answer you gave isn't the whole story, it depends what species is reacting with what. The effective nuclear charge on the atom will affect the energy of the valance electrons.   Hence, the reactivity of an atom arises from the existence of unpaired electrons in the valence shell.

Answer : 4. "100000 ohm"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 100000 ohm Explanation: Under dry conditions, the resistance offered by the human body may be as high as 100,000(10^5) Ohms.   Depending on the person, a rough value for the internal resistance of the human body is 300-1,000 Ohms. The skin's resistance is much lower if it is wet or burnt/blistered. There are a lot of factors involved and not every person has the same electrical resistance. For instance, men tend to have lower resistance than women. Within the body, the tissues with the greatest resistance are bone and fat - nerves and muscle have the least resistance.

Q: What is the common ratio of the following geometric sequence? 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125,... 2282 0

Answer : 1. "0.5"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 0.5 Explanation: In mathematics, a geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.   Herein the given sequence, 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125,... Common Ratio r = 2/4 = 1/2 = 0.5/1 = 0.25/0.5 = 0.125/0.25 == 0.5.

Q: Which statement is true of all atoms that are anions? 2382 0

    The atom has fewer protons than does a neutral atom of the same element.
    Correct
    Wrong
  • 2
    The atom has more protons than electrons.
    Correct
    Wrong
  • 3
    The atom has more neutrons than protons.
    Correct
    Wrong

Answer : 4. "The atom has more electrons than protons."
Explanation :

Answer: D) The atom has more electrons than protons. Explanation: Anions are atoms or radicals (groups of atoms), that have gained electrons. Since they now have more electrons than protons, anions have a negative charge.

Answer : 1. "1"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 1 Explanation: The mutiplicative inverse of a number is nothing but a reciprocal of a number. Now, the product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is always equal to 1.   For example : Let the number be 15 Multiplicative inverse of 15 = 1/15 The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is = 15 x 1/15 = 1.
