Answer: The observing friend will the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s.
Explanation:
- Let <em>S</em> be the speed of the swimmer, given as 1.25 m/s
- Let
be the speed of the river's current given as 1.00 m/s.
- Note that this speed is the magnitude of the velocity which is a vector quantity.
- The direction of the swimmer is upstream.
Hence the resultant velocity is given as, 
= S — S 0
= 1.25 — 1
= 0.25 m/s.
Therefore, the observing friend will see the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s due to resistance produced by the current of the river.
Answer : Noble Gases do not readily form compounds because they are chemically stable with 8 valence electrons.
Explanation :
Noble gases are the chemical elements that are present in group 18 in the periodic table.
The elements are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon.
They are chemically most stable except helium due to having the maximum number of 8 valence electrons can hold their outermost shell that means they have a complete octet.
They are rarely reacts with other elements to form compounds by gaining or losing electrons since they are already chemically stable.
Hence, the noble Gases do not readily form compounds because they are chemically stable with 8 valence electrons.
Well that depends...what is your question?
<em>An is formed when an atom loses or gains one or more electrons. Because the number of electrons in an ion is different from the number of protons, an ion does have an overall electric charge. Consider how a positive ion can form from an atom. The left side of the illustration below represents a sodium (Na) atom</em>
