Atoms for negative or positive ions depending on whether they lose or gain electrons to achieve the stable octet.  If an atom loses electrons then it would have a positive charge (cation) and if the atom gains electrons then it would become negatively charged (anion).

What is happening to the temperature of the substance BEFORE AND AFTER the phase changes?
Neporo4naja [7]
First off, you must realize that the phase changes are marked by the points B and D on the graph. They are level because all of the energy (or heat) being added is being consumed by the physical process. So The temperature is increasing before the phase change, and after the phase change. The moments before and after are represented by points A, C, and E.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

66622.653 mi/hr

Explanation:

The average speed at which the Earth rotates around the Sun = 29.783 km/s

Also, The conversion of km to miles is shown below:

1 km = 0.621371 miles

The conversion of s to hr is shown below:

1 s = 1 / 3600 hr

So,

29.783\ km/s=\frac {29.783\times 0.621371\ miles}{\frac {1}{3600}\ hr}

Thus,

<u>The average speed at which the Earth rotates around the Sun in miles per hour =  66622.653 mi/hr</u>
