since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.
Two friends at different locations want to communicate with each other by sending low energy signals. which of the following methods can they use to communicate? a) produce x-rays using colliding electrons and send them to radios, which capture sound b) send messages using infrared radiation, which travel in the form of waves c) send radio waves through intervening media like radio and television d) produce sound waves using microwaves from heated objects
