What is potential energy? A. the energy an object has due to its position or condition

B. The energy an object has due to its motion

C. the energy of moving water

D. none of the above

QUESTION ; WHAT IS POTENTIAL ENERGY?

ANSWER : LETTER "A"

EXPLANATION :

potential energy, stored energy that depends upon the relative position of various parts of a system. Potential energy is a property of a system and not of an individual body or particle; the system composed of Earth and the raised ball, for example, has more potential energy as the two are farther separated.

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
