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.

Q: There are 44 students in a hostel, due to the administration,  15 new students has joined. The expense of the mess increase by Rs. 33 per day. While the average expenditure per head diminished by Rs. 3, what was the original expenditure of the mess ? 3335 0

Answer : 4. "Rs. 616"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Rs. 616 Explanation: Let the average expenditure per head be Rs. pNow, the expenditure of the mess for old students is Rs. 44pAfter joining of 15 more students, the average expenditure per head is decreased by Rs. 3 => p-3Here, given the expenditure of the mess for (44+15 = 59) students is increased by Rs. 33Therefore, 59(p-3) = 44p + 3359p - 177 = 44p + 3315p = 210 => p = 14Thus, the expenditure of the mess for old students is Rs. 44p = 44 x 14 = Rs. 616.

Q: P alone can complete a piece of work in 6 days. Work done by Q alone in one day is equal to one-third of the work done by P alone in one day. In how many days can the work be completed if P and Q work together  ? 3334 0

Answer : 3. "4 (1/2)"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 4 (1/2) Explanation: Work done by P alone in one day = 1/6th of the total work done by Q alone in one day = 1/3(of that done by P in one day) = 1/3(1/6 of the total) = 1/18 of the total.    Work done by P and Q, working together in one day = 1/6 + 1/18  = 4/18 = 2/9    They would take 9/2 days = 4 (1/2) days to complete the work working together.

Answer : 1. "6CO2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 6CO2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2 Explanation: Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms activities.   Photosynthesis can be represented using a chemical equation.   The overall balanced equation is                 6CO2 +  6H2O   →Sunlight    C6H12O6   +   6O2Source of Carbon & Oxygen  + Source of Electrons & Hydrogen + Energy that drives Photosynthesis             ----> Sugar + Gas produced by splitting water.   Where  CO2 = carbon dioxide  H2O = waterC6H12O6 = glucose  O2 = oxygen.

Answer : 2. "Tailor and cook"
Explanation :

Answer: B) Tailor and cook Explanation: Clealry, C and D sit opposite to each other. So, if A sits opposite to cook, B shall be the cook.Now, B is to the right of barber. So, one of the rest, say C will be barber.Clealry, then D on the opposite side shall be washerman or tailor. But, washerman is left of tailor and D on the left of A.So, D is washerman and A is tailor. Thus, A and B are Tailor and Cook.
