Forming ionic bonds study
Answer:
Explanation:
We shall apply law of conservation of momentum .
Momentum before collision = momentum after collision .
Momentum before collision = 400 kg m/s
Momentum after collision = 5 x v + 11 x 15
where v is velocity of A after the collision .
5 x v + 11 x 15 = 400
5 v = 400 - 165
5v = 235
v = 47 m /s .
If the atom is neutral, it has the same number of protons as electrons. If there are 5 electrons, there are also 5 protons.
