Answer:
Explanation:
A. The charge on an element is determined by the differences between the number of protons and electrons in an atom.
An atom will have no charges if the number of protons and electrons are the same.
- When an atom loses or gains electrons, the number of electrons will either decrease or increase
- if the number of electrons is more than the number of protons, the excess electrons is the charge on the atom. And this makes the atom become a negatively charged ion.
- if the number of electrons is lesser than the number of protons, the deficient electrons makes the atom a positively charged ion. The number of electrons by which the atom is deficient makes the atom a positively charged ion.
Charge = number of protons - number of electrons
B. Electrons form the charges they do because with the charge, they become stable like the noble gases.
The desire of every atom is to have stable electronic configuration like those of the noble gases.
A potassium atom with a configuration 2 8 8 1 will prefer to lose an electron to become an Argon atom making the ion stable.
Answer:
Cobalt Sources
Cobalt-60 is used as a radiation source in many common industrial applications, such as in leveling devices and thickness gauges. It is also used for radiation therapy in hospitals. Accidental exposures may occur as the result of loss or improper disposal of medical and industrial radiation sources.

Explanation:
The question is incomplete because the image of the alcohol is missing. However, I will try give you a general picture of the reaction known as hydroboration of alkenes.
This reaction occurs in two steps. In the first step, -BH2 and H add to the same face of the double bond (syn addition).
In the second step, alkaline hydrogen peroxide is added and the alcohol is formed.
Note that the BH2 and H adds to the two atoms of the double bond. The final product of the reaction appears as if water was added to the original alkene following an anti-Markovnikov mechanism.
Steric hindrance is known to play a major role in this reaction as good yield of the anti-Markovnikov like product is obtained with alkenes having one of the carbon atoms of the double bond significantly hindered.
Zero error occur in every reading means that the measuring instrument needs to recalibrated and adjusted.
<h3>
What is Zero error?</h3>
This error occurs when a measuring instrument reflects a digit which isn't zero despite the real value being zero.
When this occurs, only the zero screw on the device should be adjusted so as to correct this technical error. This is why recalibration should be the most appropriate solution.
