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).

Identify the independent, dependent, and constant variables for different experiments.
diamong [38]

ANSWER:

IV, Type of dish detergent. DV, height of foam. CV, type of container, amount of water in container, temperature of water, time the container is agitated.

Explanation:

Independent variable(IV)- what you change during the experiment.

dependent variable(DV)- what you're measuring during an experiment. The dependent variable is DEPENDENT because it's results DEPEND on the independent variable at play.

Constant variables(CV)- things that do not change in order to isolate the tested variables as much as possible.

Tpy6a [65]
Hello
It is called lightning. Lightning in a storm occurs when there are two regions (it can be cloud-cloud or cloud-ground), one with a strong excess of positive charges and the other one with a strong excess of negative charges. The two types of charge attract each other, and then a sudden flow of charges from one region to the other occurs, which is called lightning.
