If an atom gains an electron, what overall charge will it have?
Oliga [24]

Answer:

The atom will have a negative charge.

Explanation:

Electrons are subatomic particles with a negative charge, protons are subatomic particles with a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. When a neutral atom's balance is disrupted by an extra electron, the atom  becomes negatively charged.

is the approximate relation celsius = 1/2 fahrenheit a better approximation at higher or lower temperatures?
kirill115 [55]

Answer : The approximate relation Celsius = 1/2 Fahrenheit is a better approximation at higher temperatures

Explanation :

The formula for Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion is

C = (F-32) \times \frac{5}{9}

At lower temperature the value that needs to be subtracted (32) is large enough as a result the approximation "celsius = 1/2 fahrenheit " does not seem valid.

For example, 50 F is 10°C.

(50 - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} = 10 C

This is almost 1/5 of Fahrenheit temperature.

But at higher temperatures , the value becomes insignificant and also the ratio  5/9 tend to be equal to 0.5.

For example, 2000 F is 1093°C

(2000 - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} = 1093 C

This is almost half of Fahrenheit temperature.

Therefore , the approximate relation Celsius = 1/2 Fahrenheit is a better approximation at higher temperatures

Explain how the processes that occur at mid-ocean ridges and ocean trenches illustrate the cycling of matter.
Nimfa-mama [501]

Explanation:

At one end, new crusts are being produced, at other end the crust is being destroyed and this strikes a unique balance.

At the mid-ocean ridges, the lithospheric plates are diverging. This is implies that the earth is pulling apart here. When the earth is pulling apart, new materials from the asthenosphere comes to the surface thereby creating new lithospheric plate.

As new plates are formed, they push back against the old one. New plates are found very close to the margin and it begins to age away from the margin.

On the other end, old plates are taken away from this center to ocean trenches. At oceanic trenches subduction is occurring.

In a subduction, the lithospheric plate plunges deep into the asthenosphere where they are being melted back.

This is a covergent margin.

This process continues in a dynamic manner to cycle matter on earth.
