Sodium chloride, NaCl, is formed when a sodium atom transfers its electron to a chlorine atom. The difference in charge between the two atoms creates a(n) electrostatic attraction that bonds them together.

JulijaS [17]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Sodium being a metal has 1 extra electron whereas chlorine being a non-metal is electron deficient. As a result, in order to complete their octet sodium will transfer its one electron to chlorine.

As a result, sodium becomes positively charged and chlorine will become negatively charged. Thus, there will be formation of an ionic bond between sodium and chlorine.

This opposite charge on both these atoms will cause an electrostatic repulsion between the two.

Thus, we can conclude that the difference in charge between the two atoms creates a(n) electrostatic attraction that bonds them together.

two masses are separated by 1 m. suppose the masses are moved so they are 2 m apart how will the gravitational force change
Verdich [7]
The gravitational force would get stronger because the farther the two masses are separated the more gravitational force will be used to pull them together the closer they are the less gravitational pull is used to pull them together

Question 4 How much time does it take to walk 8 km north at a velocity of 3.8 km/h?​
IrinaVladis [17]

Given parameters:

Displacement = 8km

Velocity  = 3.8km/h

Unknown:

time  = ?

Solution:

Velocity is displacement divided by time.

  Velocity  = \frac{displacement}{time}  

      Displacement  = velocity x time

Input the parameters:

              8  = 3.8  x time

 Time  = \frac{8}{3.8}   = 2.1s

The time taken is 2.1s

comparing the blank of an object with that of a liquid will tell you where or not the objects will float in that liquid
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer: Density

Explanation: Recall Archimedes Principle. There are two forces acting an object submerged in a liquid: the force of gravity and the  (opposite directed) force of buoyancy. The buoyancy is proportional to the mass of the liquid displaced by the submerged part of the object.

Density is the ratio of mass to volume. Therefore if the density of the submerged object is higher than that of the displaced liquid, the net force will point in the direction of the gravity (object will sink). In the opposite case, the net force will point in the direction of the buoyant force (upward) and the object will float.

Calculate the time it would take a motor with a power of 0.6kW to lift a suitcase of 20kg a distance of 50cm
True [87]

Answer:

0.163 s

Explanation:

Appying,

P = mgh/t................ Equation 1

Where P = power of the motor, m = mass of the suitcase, h = vertical distance, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

make t the subject of the equation,

t = mgh/P................ Equation 2

Given: m = 20 kg, h = 50 cm = 0.5 m, P = 0.6 kW = 600 W

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

t = (20×0.5×9.8)/600

t = 0.163 s
