An oxygen atom picks up two additional, free-floating electrons. Is the charge of the newly formed oxygen ion positive, negative

, or neutral?

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-

Convection occurs when thermal energy is transferred by the movement of
madam [21]

Answer:

Convection is the transfer of thermal energy from one place to another by the movement of gas or liquid particles. How does this happen? As a gas or liquid is heated, the substance expands. This is because the particles in liquids and gases gain kinetic energy when they are heated and start to move faster.

Starting from rest, a person runs with a constant acceleration, traveling 40 meters in 10 seconds. What is their final velocity?
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Final velocity v = 8.944 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given distance S = 40 meters

Time t = 10 sec

As it starts from rest so initial velocity u = 0

From second equation of motion s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

40=0\times 10+\frac{1}{2}a10^2

a=0.8944m/sec^2

Now from first equation of motion v=u+at, here v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time

So v=u+at=0+0.8944\times 10=8.944m/sec
