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

Physics
1 answer:
Damm [24]2 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)!

What is a law in physics?​
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

By nature, laws of Physics are stated facts which have been deduced and derived based on empirical observations. Simply put, the world around us works in a certain way, and physical laws are a way of classifying that “working.”

A bird flies 2.8 due west and then 2.7 due north. Another bird flies 2.7 due west and 2.8 due north. What is the angle between t
Elenna [48]
Assume a 2D plane and both the birds start at origin. +X is east, -X is west, +Y is North, -Y is South. 
So, after travel position of bird1 is (-2.8, 2.7) and bird2 is (-2.7,2.8);
slope of bird1 is 2.8/2.7
slope of bird2 is 2.7/2/8
Now we have two solpes b1 and b2
formula = (b2-b1)/(1+b1*b2);

An engine flywheel initially rotates counterclockwise at 6.55 rotations/s. Then, during 20.9 s, its rotation rate changes to 2.1
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The average angular acceleration is -2.628 rad/s²

Explanation:

Counterclockwise = positive

Clockwise = -negative

Given;

initial rotation of the flywheel, θ₁ = 6.55 rotation/s

final rotation of the flywheel, θ₂ = - 2.19 rotation/s

The average angular acceleration is given by;

\alpha = \frac{\delta \theta}{\delta t}\\\\ \alpha =\frac{\theta _2 - \theta_ 1}{t}\\\\ \alpha =\frac{-2.19 -6.55}{20.9} \\\\ \alpha =\frac{-8.74}{20.9}\\\\ \alpha = -0.4182 \ rotation / s^2\\\\ \alpha = \frac{-0.4182 \ rotation}{s^2}*\frac{2\pi \ radian}{rotation}\\\\ \alpha = -2.628 \ rad/s^2

Therefore, the average angular acceleration is -2.628 rad/s²
