What chiefly determines the relative sizes of isoelectronic F⁻, Ne and Na⁺?
All have 10 electrons in the same shells. Increasing nuclear charge contracts the electron cloud.
Two hundred million carbon atoms placed side by side extend \(2.4\,\mathrm{cm}\). Calculate the radius of one carbon atom.
The length divided by the number of atoms gives one diameter; the radius is half of it.
Laboratory chlorine is made by 4HCl + MnO₂ → 2H₂O + MnCl₂ + Cl₂. Calculate the mass of HCl that reacts with \(5.0\,\mathrm{g}\) MnO₂.
Convert MnO₂ to moles, use the 4:1 stoichiometric ratio, and convert the required HCl amount to mass.
Differentiate from first principles: (i) x³−27(ii) (x−1)(x−2)(iii) 1/x²(iv) (x+1)/(x−1).
Apply the definition or the stated differentiation rules term by term.
Substitution into the original expression verifies the stated domain and final value.
How many six-digit numbers using 0,1,3,5,7,9 exactly once are divisible by 10?
A multiple of 10 must end in 0; arrange the remaining five nonzero digits.
Let \(A=\{9,10,11,12,13\}\) and \(f(n)\) be the greatest prime factor of \(n\). Find the range.
\[\begin{aligned}9 &= 3^2\Rightarrow f(9)\\&= 3\end{aligned}\]; \[\begin{aligned}10 &= 2\cdot5\Rightarrow f(10)\\&= 5\end{aligned}\]; \(f(11)=11\); \[\begin{aligned}12 &= 2^2\cdot3\Rightarrow f(12)\\&= 3\end{aligned}\]; \(f(13)=13\). Distinct images form the range.
\(\{3,5,11,13\}\).
For \(U=\{1,2,\ldots,9\}\), \(A=\{2,4,6,8\}\), \(B=\{2,3,5,7\}\), verify both De Morgan laws.
First, \(A\cup B=\{2,3,4,5,6,7,8\}\), so \((A\cup B)'=\{1,9\}\). Also \(A'=\{1,3,5,7,9\}\) and \(B'=\{1,4,6,8,9\}\), giving \(A'\cap B'=\{1,9\}\).
Next, \(A\cap B=\{2\}\), so \((A\cap B)'=\{1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9\}\). Further, \(A'\cup B'=\{1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9\}\).
Both corresponding sides are equal.
\((A\cup B)'=A'\cap B'=\{1,9\}\) and \((A\cap B)'=A'\cup B'=\{1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9\}\).
Two 24 Ω coils operate at 220 V separately, in series or in parallel. Find current in each arrangement.
Separately \(R=24\): \(I=9.17\) A. Series \(R=48\): \(I=4.58\) A. Parallel \(R=12\): \(I=18.3\) A.
Form four-digit numbers above 5000 from 0,1,3,5,7. Find the probability of divisibility by 5 (i) with repetition(ii) without repetition.
Define the sample space and count each favourable outcome once.
The final value lies in [0,1]; complement pairs also sum to one, providing an independent check.
