Periodic Table Groups and Chemical Bonding Fundamentals

Periodic Table Groups and Electron Configuration

Main Groups of the Periodic Table

The elements are categorized into groups based on their chemical properties:

  • Group 1: Alkali Metals (Tend to increase density and decrease the melting and boiling points down the group.)
  • Group 2: Alkaline Earth Metals
  • Group 13: Boron Group (Boroideos)
  • Group 14: Carbon Group (Carbonoideos)
  • Group 15: Nitrogen Group (Nitrogenoideos)
  • Group 16: Chalcogens
  • Group 17: Halogens (Density, boiling points, and melting points increase

OE Literature: Sources and Poetic Traditions

OE Literature: Collection Differences

While collection differences work, it is difficult to know exactly what happened during this period. Following the Christianization of Britain, Britain received written records in Latin from the Roman Church. The written word was of crucial importance as services depended upon the reading of holy scriptures.

Advanced Macroeconomic Formulas and Policy Concepts

Core Macroeconomic Identities and Inflation

The Quantity Identity of Money

The Quantity Identity of Money is expressed as: M × V = P × Y

  • M = Money Supply
  • V = Velocity of Money
  • P = Price Level
  • Y = Real GDP
  • P × Y = Nominal GDP

Calculating Inflation and Growth Rates

To calculate inflation, multiply new prices by the total number of old goods.

The growth rate form of the Quantity Identity is: m + v = π + y

  • m = Money supply growth rate
  • v = Velocity growth rate
  • π (pi) = Inflation rate
  • y = Real GDP growth rate

Assuming

  • Thomas Hobbes: Argued the state is needed to avoid chaos (the “war of all against all”).
  • John Locke: Believed the state protects natural rights (life, liberty, and property).

C Programming Fundamentals: Arrays, Functions, and Search Algorithms

Array Initialization Methods in C

Arrays in C can be initialized in two main ways:

1. Compile-Time Initialization

Values are assigned at the time of declaration.

int arr[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

If fewer values are provided than the array size, the unused elements are automatically initialized to 0:

int arr[5] = {1, 2}; // arr = {1, 2, 0, 0, 0}

2. Run-Time Initialization

Values are entered during execution using input functions like scanf().

int arr[5], i;
for(i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    scanf("%d", &
