What happens when you change the number of electrons in an atom

Physics

<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.

What are two ways air resistance can be increased?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
The increase in speed leads to an increase in the amount of air resistance. Eventually, the force of air resistance becomes large enough to balances the force of gravity. At this instant in time, the net force is 0 Newton; the object will stop accelerating. The object is said to have reached a terminal velocity.

Kinematics
leonid [27]

Answer:

a)

a = 2 [m/s^2]

b)

a = 1.6 [m/s^2]

c)

xt = 2100 [m]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use kinematics equations. But first we must identify what kind of movement is being studied.

a)

When the car moves from rest to 40 [m/s] by 20 [s], it has a uniformly accelerated movement, in this way we can calculate the acceleration by means of the following equation:

v_{f} = v_{i}+(a*t)

where:

Vf = final velocity = 40 [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 0 (starting from rest)

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

t = time = 20 [s]

40 = 0 + (a*20)

a = 2 [m/s^2]

The distance can be calculates as follows:

v_{f} ^{2} =  v_{i} ^{2}+(2*a*x)

where:

x1 = distance [m]

40^2 = 0 + (2*2*x1)

x1 = 400 [m]

Now the car maintains its speed of 40 [m/s] for 30 seconds, we must calculate the distance x2 by means of the following equation, it is important to emphasize that this movement is at a constant speed.

v = x2/t2

where:

x2 = distance [m]

t2 = 30 [s]

x2 = 40*30

x2 = 1200 [m]

b)

Immediately after a change of speed occurs, such that the previous final speed becomes the initial speed, the new Final speed corresponds to zero, since the car stops completely.

v_{f} = v_{i}-a*t

Note: the negative sign of the equation means that the car is stopping, i.e. slowing down.

0 = 40 - (a *25)

a = 40/25

a = 1.6 [m/s^2]

The distance can be calculates as follows:

v_{f} ^{2}  = v_{i} ^{2} -2*a*x3\\

0 = (40^2) - (2*1.6*x3)

x3 = 500 [m]

c)

Now we sum all the distances calculated:

xt = x1 + x2 + x3

xt = 400 + 1200 + 500

xt = 2100 [m]

Which of the following are scalar quantities?
kirill [66]

Speed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. ... Velocity is the rate at which the position changes. The average velocity is the displacement or position change (a vector quantity) per time ratio.
