Only fluorine is more reactive among non-metallic elements. It is two electrons short of a full octet and readily takes electrons from other elements. It reacts violently with alkali metals and white phosphorus at room temperature and less violently with alkali earth
By Chad Langager AAA |. A: A basis point is a unit of measure used in finance to describe the percentage change in the value or rate of a financial instrument. One basis point is equivalent to 0.01% (1/100th of a percent) or 0.0001 in decimal form. In most cases, it refers to changes in interest rates and bond yields.
A basis point is one hundredth of one per cent (0.01 per cent), so 100 basis points (bps) is equal to 1 percentage point.If a bond yield were to increase from 1 per cent to 2 per cent, it is said to risen by 100 basis points (bps) or one percentage point.ond spreads, the difference between bonds of similar quality and different maturities, or of different quality and the same maturity, are usually expressed in basis points (bps). Basis points are also used to express percentage changes in costs or prices of other securities, such as mortgage loans.
