Do metals gain or lose electrons in order to acquire a full octet

1 answer:

8 0

Metals are just over a full octet, and non-metals just under. It just occurs as metals have 1-3 valence electrons so it is cooler for metals to lose electron than to gain electron for the reason that they would have to get more electrons as likened to losing electrons. So the answer is lose.

What properties of sound determine the volume of sound?

Mila [183]

The amplitude of sound waves determines the volume of the sound. Not by the motion of sound, only pitch in that aspect. It is related to the square of the amplitude.

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)

Answer:

charge C = greatest net force

charge B = the smallest net force

ratio = 9 : 1

Explanation:

we know that in Electrostatic Forces, when 2 charges are at same sign then they repel each other and if they are different signed charges then they attract each other

so as per Coulomb's formula of Electrostatic Forces

F = $\frac{k\ q_1\ q_2}{r^2}$ .....................1

and here k is 9 × $10^9$ N.m²/c² and we consider each charge at distance d

so two charge force at A to B is

F1 = $\frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}$

and force between charges at A to C, at 2d distance

F1 = $\frac{k\ q^2}{(2d)^2}$ = $\frac{k\ q^2}{4d^2}$

force between charges at A to D, 3d distance

F1 = $\frac{k\ q^2}{(3d)^2}$ = $\frac{k\ q^2}{9d^2}$

Charge a It receives force to the left from b and c and to the right from d

so at a will be

F(a) = -F1 - F2 + F3 ....................2

put here value

F(a) = $-\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}-\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}+\frac{k\ Q^2}{9d^2}$

solve it

F(a) = $\frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}(-1-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{9})$

F(a) = $-\frac{41}{36}\ F1$ = 1.13 F1

and

Charge b It receives force to the right from a and d and to the left from c

F(b) = F1 - F1 + F2 ....................3

F(b) = $\frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}-\frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}+\frac{k\ q^2}{4d^2}$

F(b) = $\frac{1}{4} \ F1$ = 0.25 F1

and

Charge c It receives forces to the right from all charges.

F(c) = F2 + F 1 + F 1 ....................4

F(c) = $\frac{k\ q^2}{4d^2}+\frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}+\frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}$

F(c) = $\frac{9}{4} \ F1$ = 2.25 F1

and

Charge d It receives forces to the left from all charges

F(d) = - F3 - F2 -F 1 ....................5

F(d) = $-\frac{k\ q^2}{9d^2}-\frac{k\ q^2}{4d^2}-\frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}$

F(d) = $-\frac{49}{36} \ F1$ = 1.36 F1

and

now we get here ratio of the greatest to the smallest net force that is

ratio = $\frac{2.25}{0.25}$

ratio = 9 : 1

Which statement best describes a wave?

dedylja [7]

Correct answer choice is:

D. A continuous transmission of energy from one location to the next.

Explanation:

Waves include the carrier of energy without the carrier of matter. In outcome, a wave can be characterized as a change that progresses into a medium, carrying energy from one spot (its source) to different spot without carrying matter.

A 50 kg skydiver is falling downwards and accelerating 6 m/s2 down. What is the net force on the skydiver?

Montano1993 [528]

Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration) (Newton #2)

Net Force = (50 kg) x (6 m/s² down)

Net Force = (50 * 6) (kg-m/s² down)

<em>Net Force = 300 Newtons down</em>
