Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same:
number of electrons in their outer electron shell |
|
number of atomic mass units |
|
number of electron shells |
|
number of electrons |
The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.
__________ is caused by a lack of iron in the diet.
shingles |
|
anemia |
|
diabetes |
|
scurvy |
Anemia, which may cause weakness, dizziness, and headaches is caused by a lack of iron in the diet.
Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?
ovum → zygote → fetus |
|
ovum → fetus → zygote |
|
zygote → ovum → fetus |
|
none of these are correct |
During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.
Carbohydrates are found in:
sugars and starches |
|
food additives |
|
vegetable oils |
|
animal sources |
Carbohydrates are major sources of energy for the body and are found in sugars (fruit, cane sugar, beets) and starches (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta).
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?
\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { \vec{v} \over t }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\) |
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)
