Assuming you do mean electronic and not electrical circuits, then the answer is, most of the failures. Powering up and down electronics stresses most components more than leaving them running all the time. First there is temperature stresses as a cold component begins to warm up. Then there are the voltage and current spikes and surges created as capacitors charge up, inductors build their fields, etc. And its not just the components but the stray capacitance and inductance as well.

Basically, when you turn on a device and it doesn’t work, chances are it failed the moment you turned it on (or the moment you last turned it off). They rarely fail while they are running. An old adage in electronics is, the longer a device operates, the longer it will operate.

I always plug in my power supplies for my phone, laptop, etc., before plugging it into the device so the power supply can stabilize without a load on it. Then I plug it into the device. Then I turn on the device. The idea is to minimize the spikes and surges.

BTW, its the same with incandescent light bulbs. A cold filament is rapidly heated which is a thermal stress. Then there is a mechanical stress caused by the current rushing through the coiled filament which creates a mechanical torque on the filament. That’s why you usually (not always) see a bulb fail when you first switch it on

Answer from: Quest

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
