When a potassium atom forms an ion, it loses one electron. What is the electrical charge of the potassium ion?

The correct answer is answer choice C. +1. Since electrons have negative charges, losing one electron will cause the atom to have a positive charge of 1. This charge comes from the protons, which, until one electron was lost, balanced out the negative charge of the electrons and caused the atom to be neutral.

Rus_ich [418]

Most geologists accept radiometric dating techniques as valid because radioactive elements decay at a constant and measurable rate.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Scientists prefer radioactive dating to carbon dating because it is more accurate in measuring.  The analysis depends upon the radioactive decay of radioactive isotopes of any matter in a given rock or soil.

The parent atoms and daughter atoms are compared while studying, and hence age can be calculated easily. Radioactive decay depends upon the given half-life of the atom, which is a constant and is known. So, it would be very easy to calculate the number of progeny atoms and parent atoms and find out their age.

You are driving a car with an automatic transmission; the shifter is mounted on the steering column. When you press down on the
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

From the narrative in the question, there seem to have been a break failure and the ordered step of response to this problem is to

1) Put on the hazard light to inform other road users of a problem or potential fault with your car and so they should continue their journey with caution.

2) Avoid pressing on the acceleration pedal as this might cause the car to gradually slow down due to friction and gravity

3)Try navigate the car to the service lane. This is the less busy lane where cars are sometimes parked briefly.

4) Continuously pump the breaks to try stop the car. Continuously pumping the breaks might just help you build enough pressure to stop the car because often time, there are some pressure left in the break.

5) At this point, the speed of the car should be relatively slow. So at this point, you could try apply the emergency hand break. Do not pull the emergency hand breaks if the car is on high speed. Doing this may cause the car to skid off the road.

Describe the octet rule in terms of noble-gas configurations and potential energy
Wittaler [7]
Elements will gain or lose electrons to form a noble gas configuration. Atoms that meet the octet rule are stable because their valence electrons have a relatively low potential energy. Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

Compare between chromosphere, corona and photosphere
gladu [14]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Photosphere: The lowest layer of the sun is called photo sphere . It is about 300 miles thick from the surface. It is the source of solar flares. It is  marked by bright bubbling granules of plasma.

chromosphere emits a reddish glow as the super heated hydrogen burns off but the red rim can only be seen during total solar eclipse.

The third layer of the sun atmosphere is Corona. It can also only be seen during during a total solar eclipse. Temperature in corona can reach as high as 3.5 million degree fahrenheit.  As the gases cool they become solar winds.
