Answer: Equal number of protons and electrons. Example: an atom of oxygen atom has 8 electrons and 8 protons and is neutral.
Explanation:
An atom that has no charge is a neutral atom. It contains electrons equal to protons. For example: A neutral atom of oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons.
An atom which has charge is said be ionized. It is either positively charged or negatively charged. It is positively charge when the number of electrons is less than the number of protons. For example:
contains 10 electrons and 11 protons.
And when the number of electrons is greater than the number of protons, the atom is negatively charged. For example,
has 17 protons and 18 electrons. It readily accepts an electron to complete its octet.
Answer:
the property of absorbing light of short wavelength and emitting light of longer wavelength.
Explanation:
YW
Let
be the height of the building and thus the initial height of the ball. The ball's altitude at time
is given by

where
is the acceleration due to gravity.
The ball reaches the ground when
after
. Solve for
:


so the building is about 16 m tall (keeping track of significant digits).
Answer:
A
Explanation:
An ion with a negative charge
If you do not have to use relative physics but classic physics, this is how you solve it:
Speed of light = c = 3 * 10^5 km/s
Speed of your foe respect to you: 0.259c
Speed of the torpedo respect to you: 0.349c
Speed of the torpedo respect your foe: 0.349c - 0.259c = 0.09c
Conversion to km/s = 0.09 * 3.0 * 10^5 km/s = 27000 km/s
Note that this solution, using classic physics do not take into account time and space dilation.
Answer: 27000 km/s
