Escape speed (vₑ) is proportional to the square root of the planet's radius (R) and mass (M), vₑ ∝ √(M/R). For a planet with twice the radius and double the escape speed, mass must be quadruple Earth’s, since (2vₑ)² = (4M/R).

The nitrogen atom in ammonia (NH3) is sp3 hybridized, which allows for three sigma bonds and one lone pair, resulting in a tetrahedral electronic geometry. However, the presence of the lone pair compresses the bond angles, giving NH3 a trigonal pyramidal shape .

The number of molecules in a sample is calculated using Avogadro's number, which is approximately 6.022×10^23 molecules per mole. For 2.0 moles of H2SO4, the number of molecules is 2.0 × 6.022×10^23 = 1.204×10^24 molecules .

The size of an ion is determined by its electron configuration and the nuclear charge. Anions tend to be larger than their respective atoms due to increased electron repulsion. Among Ca2+, Na+, Br-, and Br, Br- is the largest ion, as it is an anion with added electron repulsion leading to an expanded shell .

Lithium is the least electronegative compared to fluorine, chlorine, and potassium, because it has the lowest effective nuclear charge and the largest atomic radius among these options. This means it has a weaker tendency to attract electrons, resulting in strong metal reactivity and strong reducing power .

The tangent line is derived from the derivative of the curve. For y = 4x², the derivative dy/dx = 8x. At x = 1, the slope is 8. The tangent is y - 2 = 8(x - 1), or y = 8x - 6 .

When light enters a medium with a higher refractive index, its speed and wavelength decrease (while frequency remains constant). For light of 589 nm, refracted into water (n = 1.33), the new wavelength λ' = λ/n = 589 nm / 1.33 ≈ 442 nm .

The energy levels of Bohr’s orbits vary inversely with the square of the principal quantum number, n. The energy ratio of orbits with n = 3 and n = 6 is given by (1/3²) : (1/6²) = 36:9 = 4:1 .

In fusion, the mass of the resultant nucleus (m3) is less than the sum of the masses of the fusing nuclei (m1 and m2). This mass difference is released as energy according to Einstein's mass-energy equivalence principle (E=mc²).

The emf is calculated using the Nernst equation, considering the standard potentials and ion concentrations. For Zn/Zn2+ (0.004) and Cd2+ (0.2)/Cd, the emf can be calculated as E = +0.36 + (0.059/2) log (0.2/0.004), based on the given standard electrode potentials and concentration values .
