When an oxygen atom forms an ion, it gains two electrons. What is the electrical charge of the oxygen ion?

Physics

Damm [24]3 years ago
7 0
The oxygen atom, before it gains these two electrons, has a neutral charge, meaning that it has as many protons as electrons. After it gains 2 electrons, it has 2 more electrons than protons. Each electron has a charge of -1, so the whole molecule will  have a charge of -2. The correct answer is a)!

During the experiment if you could double the breakaway magnetic force with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new
sergiy2304 [10]
There are some missing information in the question.
However, since you are talking about magnetic force, I think you refer to the Lorentz force. When a particle of charge q and velocity v is immersed in a magnetic field of intensity B, the force acting on the particle is:
F=qvBsin\theta
where \theta is the angle between the magnetic field and the direction of the particle.
Therefore, if force F is doubled, then also the velocity v must be double of its initial value:
v=2v_0
