Answer: Negative

Explanation:

An oxygen atom has the chemical symbol O. Its atomic number is 8, with an electronic configuration of 1s2, 2s2 2p4.

Now, due to the incompletely filled p-orbital, oxygen picks up two additional, free-floating electrons (2e-) to complete its outermost shell. And since each electrons received carries a negative charge, oxygen atom becomes a negatively charged divalent ion, O2-

See the equation below

O + 2e- ---> O2-

Elena L [17]

Answer:

a) 0.167 μC/m^2

b) 1.887 * 10^4 V/m

Explanation:

Hello!

First let's find the surface charge density:

a)

Since thesatellite is metallic, the accumalted charge will be uniformly distribuited on its surface. Therefore the charge density σ will be:

σ = Q/A

Where A is the area of the satellite, which is:

A=4πr^2 = πd^2 = π(1.9m)^2

Therefore:

σ = (1.9)/(π (1.9)^2) μC/m^2 = 0.167 μC/m^2

Now let's calculate the electric field

b)

Just outside the surface of the satellite the elctric field will be:

E = σ/ε0

Where      ε0=8.85×10^−12 C/Vm

Therefore:

E = (0.167*10^-6 C/m^2) / (8.85*10^-12  C/Vm) = 0.01887 *10^6 V/m

E = 1.887 * 10^4 V/m
