<h2>Answer: It becomes an Ion </h2>

When an atom has gained or lost electrons (negative charge), it becomes an ion.

In this sense:

<h2>Ions are atoms that have <u>gained or lost</u> electrons in their electronic cortex. </h2><h2> </h2>

If a neutral atom <u>loses electrons</u>, it remains with an excess of positive charge and transforms into a positive ion or <u>cation</u>, whereas if a neutral atom <u>gains electrons</u>, it acquires an excess of negative charge and transforms into a negative ion or <u>anion</u>.

It is then how ions form bonds with other atoms differently depending on the number of electrons they have.

Suppose an oven's radiation wavelength is 0.125 m. a container with 350.00 g of water was placed in the oven, and the temperatur

ivann1987 [24]

The heat (energy) needed to raise the temperature of the water is given by
$Q=m C_S (T_f - T_i)=(350.0 g)(4.18 J/gC)(80C-20C)=87780 J$

The wavelength of the radiation of the oven is $\lambda=0.125 m$ , so the energy of a single photon of this radiation is
$E=h \frac{c}{\lambda}=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}J) \frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{0.125 m}=1.6 \cdot 10^{-24} J$

So, the number of photons required to heat the water is the total energy absorbed by the water divided by the energy of a single photon:
$N= \frac{Q}{E}= \frac{87780 J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-24}J}= 5.5 \cdot 10^{28}$ photons

The resistivity of gold is 2.44 x 10-8 ohms.m at room temperature. A gold wire that is 0.9 mm in diameter and 14 cm long carries

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

E=0.036 V/m

Explanation:

Given that

Resistivity ,ρ=2.44 x 10⁻⁸ ohms.m

d= 0.9 mm

L= 14 cm

I = 940 m A = 0.94 A

We know that electric field E

E= V/L

V= I R

R=ρL/A

So we can say that

E= ρI/A

Now by putting the values

$E=\dfrac{ 2.44\times 10^{-8}\times 0.94}{\dfrac{\pi}{4}(0.9\times 10^{-3})^2}$

E=0.036 V/m
