Answer:

<h2>170km</h2>

Explanation:

If a ship sets out to sail to a point 154 km due north and an unexpected storm blows the ship to a point 72 km due east of its starting point, then the ships distance from the original destination can be gotten by finding the displacement of the ship and this can be gotten by using pythagoras theorem.

Let D be the unknown displacement

According to the theorem;

D² = 154² + 72²

D² = 23716 + 5184

D² = 28900

D = √28900

D = 170km

<em>This means that the ship must now sail a distance of 170km for it to reach its original destination.</em>

1) A negatively charged ion is chloride

2) Moving from left to right, valence electrons increase by one.

3) The period number gives information about how many energy levels it has

4) Fluorine has a charge of 1–

5) Potassium and iodine form an ionic bond

The periodic table is an arrangement of elements into groups and periods based on their periodic properties.

In the periodic table, elements are arranged in groups and periods. There are 18 groups and 8 periods.

Chlorine is in group 17, there have seven outermost electrons hence the chlorine atom needs only one more electron in order to attain a stable octet. This is done by accepting one electron to form the negatively charged chloride ion.

As we move from one period to another, one extra electron is added to the outermost shell of elements. Hence, the valence electrons increases by one.

The period to which an element belongs shows you the number of shells or energy levels in the atom of that element.

Fluorine is in group 17. One electron is needed to achieve a stable octet. When an atom accepts one electron, its charge is 1–.

Bonding based on ionic charges occurs between metals and nonmetals. Potassium is a metal of group 1 and iodine is a non metal of group 17 hence they can bond together based on their ionic charges.
