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

Physics
1 answer:
Sergeeva-Olga [200]4 years ago
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.

A point P is placed exactly between two charges, Q1 and Q2. If the electric field experienced by point P due to charge Q1 is 1.5
iren2701 [21]

<em>Answer:  D</em>

<em>Given data:</em>

The electric field due to charge q₁  is (E₁) = 1.5 × 10⁵ N/C

The electric field due to charge q₂ is (E₂) = 7.2 × 10⁵ N/C

Determine the net electric field at point P (Enet) = ?

electric field measured in Newtons/coulomb

<em>We know that,</em>

        The net electric field (Enet) is vector sum of E₁ and E₂ caused by the charge q₁ and q₂ respectively

             Enet = E₁ + E₂

                       = (1.5 × 10⁵)+ (7.2 × 10⁵)

                       = 8.7 × 10⁵ Newtons/coulomb

<em>The net electric field at point P is  8.7 × 10⁵ N/C</em>

An object is in simple harmonic motion. Find an equation for the motion given that the frequency is 3⁄π and at time t = 0, y = 0
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: y(t)= 1/π^2 sin(6*π^2*t)

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to consider the general expression for a harmonic movement given by:

y(t)= A*sin (ω*t +φo) where ω is the angular frequency. A is the amplitude.

The data are: ν= 3π; y(t=0)=0 and y'(0)=6.

Firstly we know that 2πν=ω then ω=6*π^2

Then, we have y(0)=0=A*sin (6*π^2*0+φo)= A sin (φo)=0 then φo=0

Besides y'(t)=6*π^2*A*cos (6*π^2*t)

y'(0)=6=6*π^2*A*cos (6*π^2*0)

6=6*π^2*A then A= 1/π^2

Finally the equation is:

y(t)= 1/π^2 sin(6*π^2*t)

the number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom's _______ , and the number of electrons determines _______ o
Sedbober [7]

The number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom’s identity and the number of electrons determines electrical charge of an element.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. The protons and neutrons are enclosed in a specific spherical region at the center of the atom termed as nucleus of the atom. This is because proton is positive charge and neutron is neutral charged high mass particles.

While the electrons are negative charged lighter mass particles. So the electrons will revolve around the nucleus. The protons number in element's one atom helps to identity its chemical properties of the element. While the electrons number in an element will determine the electrical charge and conducting nature of the element.
