An atom gains an additional electron. What is the overall charge of the ion that is formed?

jeka57 [31]

<em>An is formed when an atom loses or gains one or more electrons. Because the number of electrons in an ion is different from the number of protons, an ion does have an overall electric charge. Consider how a positive ion can form from an atom. The left side of the illustration below represents a sodium (Na) atom</em>

A copper wire and a tungsten wire of the same length have the same resistance. What is the ratio of the diameter of the copper w

spayn [35]

Answer:

Therefore the ratio of diameter of the copper to that of the tungsten is

$\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}$

Explanation:

Resistance: Resistance is defined to the ratio of voltage to the electricity.

The resistance of a wire is

directly proportional to its length i.e $R\propto l$
inversely proportional to its cross section area i.e $R\propto \frac{1}{A}$

Therefore

$R=\rho\frac{l}{A}$

ρ is the resistivity.

The unit of resistance is ohm (Ω).

The resistivity of copper(ρ₁) is 1.68×10⁻⁸ ohm-m

The resistivity of tungsten(ρ₂) is 5.6×10⁻⁸ ohm-m

For copper:

$A=\pi r_1^2 =\pi (\frac{d_1}{2} )^2$

$R_1=\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi(\frac{d_1}{2})^2 }$

$\Rightarrow (\frac{d_1}{2})^2=\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi R_1 }$ ......(1)

Again for tungsten:

$R_2=\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi(\frac{d_2}{2})^2 }$

$\Rightarrow (\frac{d_2}{2})^2=\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi R_2 }$ ........(2)

Given that $R_1=R_2$ and $l_1=l_2$

Dividing the equation (1) and (2)

$\Rightarrow\frac{ (\frac{d_1}{2})^2}{ (\frac{d_2}{2})^2}=\frac{\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi R_1 }}{\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi R_2 }}$

$\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )^2=\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}$ [since $R_1=R_2$ and $l_1=l_2$ ]

$\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )=\sqrt{\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}}$

$\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )=\sqrt{\frac{3}{10}}$

$\Rightarrow d_1:d_2=\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}$

Therefore the ratio of diameter of the copper to that of the tungsten is

$\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}$

Why does a solid change to liquid when heat is added

marissa [1.9K]

heat excites molecules at their "lattice" sites. Enough to break the lattice bonds set the molecules free of each other and ... melt.
