Round-robin (RR) is one of the algorithms employed by process and network schedulers in computing. It falls under the category of Preemptive scheduling. In computing, the running task is interrupted for some time without requiring its cooperation and resumed later when the priority task has finished its execution. This is called preemptive scheduling. 

Chlorine is the most commonly used bleaching agent.

Bleaching agents are compounds which are used to remove color from substances such as textiles. A bleaching agent is a material that lightens or whitens a substrate through the chemical reaction. The bleaching reactions usually involve oxidative or reductive processes that degrade color systems.

 ZA = 88  ; ZB = 52

So formula of compound is AB52 

i.e., A2B5.

In a chemical reaction, substances (elements or compounds) called reactants are changed into other substances (compounds or elements) called products. Hence, reactants are those which start the chemical reaction.

For example:

1. In the burning of natural gas, methane (CH4) and oxygen (O2) are the reactants in the chemical reaction. are the substances formed by a chemical reaction. In the burning of natural gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are the products formed by the reaction.

2. H2+O2 ----> H2O

Here H2 & O2 are called Reactants and H2O is called Product.

The smallest unit of data storage in a computer is called Bit (Binary Digit). Half a byte (four bits) is called a Nibble.

1 bit (binary digit) = the value of 0 or 1

8 bits = 1 byte

1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte

1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte

1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte

1024 gigabytes = 1 terabyte

1024 terabytes = 1 petabyte

Hence, Computer storage units smallest to largest i.e, in ascending order is

 1 bit  <  1 byte  <  1 KB  <  1 MB  <  1 GB  <  1TB  <  1 PB.

A Sound wave needs a medium for propogation. Hence, Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.

A vacuum is an area without any air, like space. So sound cannot travel through space because there is no matter for the vibrations to work in.
