Answer:

The sum of positive and negative charges in a unit of Al2O3 equals zero.

Aluminium has a charge of +3 while Oxygen has a charge of -2 on each ion.

Al203 has 2 Al atoms and 3 O atoms.

Charge on Al2O3 = 2(charge on Al ion) + 3(charge on O ion)

= 2(3) + 3(-2)

= 6 - 6

= 0

Explanation:

Aluminium has 3 electrons in the outermost shell and has the tendency to lose those 3 electrons to form a positive ion and have a complete outermost shell.

Whereas, Oxygen has 6 electrons in the outermost and has the tendency to accept two more electrons to form a negative ion and have a complete outermost shell.

The earth’s orbit is oval in shape . Explain how the magnitude of gravitational force between earth and sun changes as earth mov
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The gravitational force does change believe it or not, but the explaination for this is because the earths orbit is an oval (or a not circle) the closer it nears its self to the sun. the suns gravitational pull, pulls the earth to it bringing it closer and as it reaches the other side lets call this L when it reaches L it becomes the same gravitational pull reset as P is and another section over the sun lets call this M and when it reaches M its the same pull as Q, you get it now?
