Explanation

The atomic number of silver (Ag) is 47. Its electronic configuration is [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s¹.

The valence electrons are in the outermost shell, which is the 5s orbital with 1 electron.

The number of valence electrons is 1.

Explanation

In uniform circular motion, there is no angular acceleration (α = 0).

Since torque τ = Iα, and α = 0, torque is zero (τ = 0 Nm).

Explanation

Skin cells form the outermost layer of the body, acting as a protective barrier.

They shield internal organs and tissues from injury, pathogens, and dehydration.

Explanation

The Earth bulges at the equator and rotates, creating a centrifugal force that slightly reduces gravity there.

At the poles, this effect is minimal, so ‘g’ is stronger at the poles than at the equator.

Explanation

The sound level β (in dB) is given by:

β = 10 log(I / I₀)

where I₀ is the threshold intensity (faintest audible sound). Given I = I₀:

β = 10 log(1) = 0 dB

Explanation

Sori are clusters of sporangia found on the underside of fern leaves (sporophylls).

They are responsible for producing and releasing spores for reproduction.

Explanation

Nascent hydrogen refers to atomic hydrogen (H), which is highly reactive and short-lived.

It is usually produced in situ during chemical reactions.

It is more reactive than molecular hydrogen (H₂).

Explanation

Lactic acid fermentation occurs in skeletal muscles during intense exercise when oxygen is scarce, converting pyruvate to lactate.

It provides rapid but temporary energy, causing muscle fatigue.

Explanation

In a balanced chemical equation, the law of conservation of mass states that atoms are neither created nor destroyed.

So, the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side is always equal to that on the product side.

Explanation

Decaying involves the breakdown of organic matter into simpler substances through chemical reactions.

It alters the original composition of the material, which is a hallmark of a chemical change.
