. Based on the periodic table, magnesium (Mg) has two valence electrons. What could you infer about the number of valence electrons of calcium (Ca)?
A. Calcium (Ca) has one more valence electron than magnesium (Mg) because
it is below Mg and in the same family.
B. Calcium (Ca) has one less valence electron than magnesium (Mg) because it
is below Mg and in the same family.
C. Calcium (Ca) has the same number of valence electrons as magnesium (Mg)
because it is below Mg and in the same family.

explanation:

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.

its first and third is your answer i did the qustion the fourth isnt right
