How can a charged atom (an ion) attract a neutral atom? 1. the charged atom can hit the neutral atom and make it positively char

ged or negatively charged. 2. an ion polarizes a nearby neutral atom, so that the part of the atom nearer to the ion acquires a charge opposite to the charge of the ion, and the part of the atom farther from the ion acquires a charge of the same sign as the ion. 3. the charged atom can produce secondary electrons to interact with the neutral atom and make it positively charged or negatively charged. 4. the charged atom can emit x-rays to induce ionization of the neutral atom?

The answer would be 2. <span>an ion polarizes a nearby neutral atom, so that the part of the atom nearer to the ion acquires a charge opposite to the charge of the ion, and the part of the atom farther from the ion acquires a charge of the same sign as the ion

In neutral atoms, the negative and positive charge spread evenly. The charge from an ion could create an electric field that will attract the charge of the neutral atoms.
The neutral atoms charge sum still zero, but the distribution of charge could be changed.</span>

Rashid [163]

Answer:

Ocean Currents

Explanation:

The correct answer is Ocean currents.

When the earth receives solar radiation, a large fraction of this incident radiation is usually absorbed by the oceans and the seas, which become warm. Usually, equitorial regions are the ones that have this phenomenon. Now, when ocean currents are flowing from the equator, they usually carry this warm water with them thereby moving the greatest amount of heat from the equator on its way out.

For example, In the Pacific Ocean, there is a current known as Alaska Current that carries warm water in the northward direction thereby making Anchorage which is Alaska's largest city to have a much mild weather than the inland areas with the same latitude.

The elements in Groups 1A(1) and 7A(17) are all quite reactive. What is a major difference between them?
matrenka [14]

The elements in Groups 1A(1) and 7A(17) are all quite reactive.

<h3>Major difference between Groups 1A(1) and 7A(17) : </h3>

Group 7's halogens, which are non-metal elements, become less reactive as you move down the group. In contrast to the alkali metals in Group 1 of the periodic table, this trend is the opposite. The most reactive element in Group 7 is fluorine.

Alkali metals are soft and reactive metals. They react vigorously with water and become more reactive. And other hand halogens are reactive non metals.

  • Elements of group 1A are known as alkali metals. Elements of this group are lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium.
  • Reactivity increase down group 1 but decrease up group 7 this is because group 7 elements react by gaining an electron. As one move down the group, the amount of electron shielding increases, meaning that the electron is less attracted to the nucleus.

Under standard-state conditions, which of the following species is the best reducing agent? a. Ag+ b. Pb c. H2 d. Ag e. Mg2+
eimsori [14]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option b.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which help the other substance to get reduced and itself gets oxidized. They undergo oxidation reaction.

X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-

For determination of reducing agents, we will look at the oxidation potentials of the substance. Oxidation potentials can be determined by reversing the standard reduction potentials.

For the given options:

  • <u>Option a:</u>  Ag^+

This ion cannot be further oxidized because +1 is the most stable oxidation state of silver.

  • <u>Option b:</u>  Pb

This metal can easily get oxidized to Pb^{2+} ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.13 V

Pb\rightarrow Pb^{2+}+2e^-;E^o_{(Pb/Pb^{2+})}=+0.13V

  • <u>Option c:</u>  H_2

This metal can easily get oxidized to H^{+} ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.0 V

H_2\rightarrow 2H^++2e^-;E^o_{(H_2/H^{+})}=0.0V

  • <u>Option d:</u>  Ag

This metal can easily get oxidized to Ag^{+} ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is -0.80 V

Ag\rightarrow Ag^{+}+e^-;E^o_{(Ag/Ag^{+})}=-0.80V

  • <u>Option e:</u>  Mg^{2+}

This ion cannot be further oxidized because +2 is the most stable oxidation state of magnesium.

By looking at the standard oxidation potential of the substances, the substance having highest positive E^o potential will always get oxidized and will undergo oxidation reaction. Thus, considered as strong reducing agent.

From the above values, the correct answer is Option b.

Describe the particle mode of matter. what does the brownian motion tells us about the particles in matter?give other evidence t
svetlana [45]

Answer:

dium (a liquid or a gas). This pattern of motion typically consists of random fluctuations in a particle's position inside a fluid sub-domain, followed by a relocation to another sub-domain. Each relocation is followed by more fluctuations within the new closed volume. This pattern describes a fluid at thermal equilibrium, defined by a given temperature. Within such a fluid, there exists no preferential direction of flow (as in transport phenomena). More specifically, the fluid's overall linear and angular momenta remain null over time. The kinetic energies of the molecular Brownian motions, together with those of molecular rotations and vibrations, sum up to the caloric component of a fluid's internal energy (the Equipartition theorem).
