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-

What is polygamy? Explain please:)
Mariulka [41]

I always thought that 'polygamy' refers to the social system in which a man
may have more than one wife, and I thought there's some other word for
where a woman is married to more than one man. 

But when I went to look it up just now to answer your question, (which by the
way you could also have done very easily), I found a definition that says it's a
"state of marriage between many spouses".  That doesn't specify genders, so
I guess it means any marriage that involves more than two people, no matter
how the genders may be represented or distributed within it.

Sandy is on a road trip. She leaves at 8:00 AM. It takes her 2 hours to drive 200 kilometers. She stops at a rest stop for half
lutik1710 [3]
The average velocity of Sandy is given by the total distance covered S divided by the total time taken t:
v= \frac{S}{t}

The total distance covered is
S=200 km+0+100 km=300 km
while the total time taken is 2 hours + half an hour (for the rest) + 1 hour and half, so
t=2h+0.5h+1.5 h=4 h
Therefore, the average velocity is 
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{300 km}{4 h}=75 km/h

to start an avalanche on a mountain slope, an artillery shell is fired with an initial velocity of 290 m/s at 53.0° above the ho
kap26 [50]
So this is easy to calculate when you split the velocity into x and y components. The x component is going to equal cos(53) * 290 and the y component is going to equal sin(53)*290.

The x location therefore is 290*cos(53)*35 = 6108.4m

The y location needs to factor in the downwards acceleration of gravity too, which is 9.81m/s^2. We need the equation dist. = V initial*time + 0.5*acceleration*time^2.

This gives us d=290*sin(53)*35 + (0.5*-9.81*35^2)=2097.5m

So your (x,y) coordinates equals (6108.4, 2097.5)
