Calcium phosphide, Ca3P2, has uses in incendiary bombs and other explosives. It is also used in fireworks and torpedoes. Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons. How many valence electrons does each Calcium atom lose?

Cobalt-60 is an artificial radioisotope that is produced in a nuclear reactor and is used as a gamma-ray source in the treatment of certain types of cancer. if the wavelength of the gamma radiation from a cobalt-60 source is 1.00 × 10-3 nm, calculate the energy of a photon of this radiation.

Electromagnets coils of wire paper clips picked up 10 3 15 6 20 9 25 12 ms. owens' class was studying magnets. ms. owens showed her students how to make an electromagnet using a nail, a d-cell battery, and plastic coated wire. the students wrapped the wire around the nail and then attached the ends to the battery. when they were finished, they tested their magnets by investigating how many paperclips their magnets could pick up. they also tested whether they could increase the strength of their electromagnets by using more coils of wire. they recorded the class average of their results in the data table seen here. ms. owens asked her students to graph their data in a line graph. how should the students label the x-axis on their line graph? a) size of battery b) number of paper clips c) number of coils of wire d) strength of electromagnet
