Answer:

Sodium ions - Na⁺ - cation

Potassium ions - K⁺ cation

Chloride ions - Cl⁻ anion

Magnesium ions - Mg²⁺ cation

Calcium ions - Ca²⁺ cation

Phosphate ions - P³⁻ anion

Iron ions - Fe²⁺ cation

Zinc ions - Zn⁺ cation

Explanation:

Following is a list of 8 common but essential ions in the cells and fluids of human bodies:

1. Sodium ions helps in regulation and control the level of body fluids

2. Potassium ions help regulate cellular functions

3. Calcium ions are essential for building and maintaining strength bones and teeth. and have role in blood clotting, muscle contraction, and the transmission of nerve signals to cells.

4. Chloride ions are the main anions found outside body cells. They acts as counterions

5. Magnesium ions present in the bones

6. Phosphate ions present in body fluids act as the counterions.

7. Iron

8. Zinc

If the distance between a point charge and a neutral atom and is multiplied by a factor of 5, by what factor does the force on t

dexar [7]

Given :

The distance between a point charge and a neutral atom and is multiplied by a factor of 5.

To Find :

By what factor does the force on the neutral atom by the point charge change.

Solution :

We know, electrostatic force between two object is directly proportional to product of charge and inversely proportional to distance between them.

Now, charge in neutral atom is 0 C.

So, the electrostatic force between two of them is also 0 N.

Therefore, by changing distance between the charge the forces did no change ( it remains zero).

The radioactivity of U-235 is of low intensity. Why then were the people of Hiroshima exposed to high intensity radiation in the

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

What occurred then is as a result of nuclear fission. This occurs as the Uranium-235 split into two smaller nuclei while releasing high energy neutrons. These neutrons bombard existing U-235 in the atmosphere and this reaction continue in a spontaneous manner until a chain reaction is formed of U-235, whose fall out fills the environment. This process was what led to people been exposed to high intensity radiation in the days and months after the atomic bomb was dropped.
