How does losing an electron result in a positive charge?

Physics

AlekseyPX3 years ago

A proton has a positive charge, an electron has a negative charge. Usually, the amount of electrons and protons is the same, but when an electron is lost usually because of radiation or a chemical reaction the resulting amount of electrons/ protons results in a different charge for the atom in general.
When there are more electrons the result it a negative ion, and when there are more protons it is a positive ion. 
So, to answer your question: if an electron is lost from a neutral atom and there are more protons than electrons you get a positive charge. Have a good day!

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

the intensity of the sun on the other planet is a hundredth of that of the intensity of the sun on earth.

That is,

Intensity of sun on the other planet, Iₒ = (intensity of the sun on earth, Iₑ)/100

Explanation:

Let the intensity of light be represented by I

Let the distance of the star be d

I ∝ (1/d²)

I = k/d²

For the earth,

Iₑ = k/dₑ²

k = Iₑdₑ²

For the other planet, let intensity be Iₒ and distance be dₒ

Iₒ = k/dₒ²

But dₒ = 10dₑ

Iₒ = k/(10dₑ)²

Iₒ = k/100dₑ²

But k = Iₑdₑ²

Iₒ = Iₑdₑ²/100dₑ² = Iₑ/100

Iₒ = Iₑ/100

Meaning the intensity of the sun on the other planet is a hundredth of that of the intensity on earth.

xeze [42]

The inner planets are rocky because The warm temperatures in the inner disk caused the inner planetesimals to be formed of mostly rocky material.

What are rocky planets?

  • Rocky planets are the planet in which constituents are mostly silicate rocks or metal. They are also regarded as a planet with a solid surface.
  • The formation of rocky planets is said to have occurred billions of years ago and its process of formation is termed accretion. Through accretion are its constituents formed as the more it goes bigger, the higher the rising temperature and pressure in its core and the elements which have to undergo accreted heat up, melt, and spread. Through this process, heavier elements go deeper into the core of the planet and lighter elements float toward the surface.
  • In the formation of rocky planets, the inner portions of the disk are said to be warm from the protostar thereby resulting in the production of the heavy elements that stay there.
  • Examples of rocky planets are Earth or Mars

Hence, from the above, we can say that,

The warm temperatures in the inner disk caused the inner planetesimals to be formed of mostly rocky material.

Here,

Option A is correct.

Assuming that the students worldwide are being considered, because of the extremely large population, this can be considered as a binomial distribution. A normal distribution is used most usually as a fair approximation of the binomial. The mean is the expectation, therefore:<span>
