Answer:

(1) A positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons.

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest indivisible part of an element which retains all the chemical properties of that element.

Atoms are usually made up of a nucleus which consists of  positively charged proton(s) and neutral neutron(s) and surrounded by an equal amount of negatively charged electrons located at a distance, r called its atomic radius.

The number of positively charged protons equals the number of negatively charged electrons, thus making the atom electrically neutral.

So, the distribution of charge in an atom is thus one in which a positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons.

Answer: option B

Explanation: when a neutral atom loses an electron or gains a positive charge electron, it becomes a positive ion (positively charged) and when an neutral atom gains an electronic charge or losses a positive charge electron, it becomes a negative ion (negatively charged).

A sail boat moves north for a distance of 10 km when blown by a wind 30° east of south with the force of 5.00×10^4 N. how much w
erma4kov [3.2K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

a) 5.00 x 10^8 J

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The work done to move the sailboat is calculated through the equation;

W = F x d

where F is force and d is the distance.

Substituting the known values from the given above,

                             W = (5.00 x 10⁴ N)(10 km)(1000 m/ 1km)

                                 = 5.00 x 10⁸ J

Thus, the work done is <u>5.00 x 10⁸Joules</u>
