Calculate the total number of valence electrons present in 1.42 gm of methane.

Light traveling in a medium with a refractive index 1.19 is incident on a plate of another medium with index of refraction 1.79. at what angle of incidence is the reflected light fully polarized?

The experiment was repeated many years later but the gases were mixed in a different type of container. a white solid was obtained which was xenon fluoride. predict whether you think 1) krypton and 2) radon will react with fluorine. explain reasons for your predictions

Two steel balls, each of mass m, are welded to a light rod of length l and negligible mass and are initially at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. a horizontal force of magnitude f is suddenly applied to the rod as shown. determine (a) the instantaneous acceleration a of the mass center g and (b) the corresponding rate at which the angular velocity of the assembly about g is changing with time.
