It behaves more like a metal

Explanation:

When an element tends to lose its valence electrons in chemical reactions, they behave more like a metal.

Metals are electropositive.

Electropositivity or metallicity is the a measure of the tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons.

This is closely related to ionization energy and the electronegativity of the element.

The lower the ionization energy of an element, the more electropositive or metallic the element is .

Metals are usually large size and prefers to be in reactions where they can easily lose their valence electrons.

When most metals lose their valence electrons, they attain stability.

Non-metals are electronegative. They prefer to gain electrons.

A student fills a tank of radius r with water to a height of h1 and pokes a small, 1.0 cm diameter hole at a distance h2 from th

Alik [6]

when a hole is made at the bottom of the container then water will flow out of it

The speed of ejected water can be calculated by help of Bernuolli's equation and Equation of continuity.

By Bernoulli's equation we can write

$Po + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 + \rho g h = Po + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 + \rho g *0$

Now by equation of continuity

$A_1v_1 = A_2v_2$

$\pi (0.2)^2 v_1 = \pi (0.01)^2 v_2$

from above equation we can say that speed at the top layer is almost negligible.

$v_1 = 0$

now again by equation of continuity

$\rho g h = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2$

$v = \sqrt{2 g h}$

here we have

$h = h_1 - h_2$

$h = 0.50 - 0.03 = 0.47m$

now speed is given by

$v = \sqrt{2* 9.8 * 0.47}$

$v = 3.03 m/s$

If an object has a net positive charge of 4.0 coulombs, the object possesses (1) 6.3 × 10^18 more electrons than protons (2) 2.5

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

(4) $2.5 \times 10^{19}$ more protons than electrons

Explanation:

Total positive change on the object is given as

$Q = 4 C$

now by the law of quantization of charge we know that the charge on any body is always in form of integral multiple of charge of an electron.

So we will have

$Q = N e$

here we know that

$4 = N(1.6 \times 10^{-19})$

$N = 2.5 \times 10^{19}$

Now we know that the object is positively charged so here electrons must be less in numbers than protons

so correct answer will be

(4) $2.5 \times 10^{19}$ more protons than electrons
