Answer:

Anion ( F^-)

Explanation:

An anion is formed when a non metal receives an electron from metallic atom.

Fluorine atom has electronic configuration of 1S2 2S2 2P5. It therefore needs 1 electron to attain the noble gas configuration. Thus to do this, fluorine will receive 1 electron from metallic atom to form fluoride ion(F^-) with electronic configuration as 1s2 2s2 2p6 and thus forming ionic bond.

This can be seen when sodium react with fluorine to form sodium fluoride according to the equation

1. Na —> Na+ + e-

2. F + e- —> F-

Combining 1 and 2, we have:

Na + F + e- —> Na+ + F- + e-

Na + F —> Na+F-

The above illustration indicates ionic bonding as electron was transferred from the sodium atom to the fluorine atom, thus forming sodium ion (Na+) and fluorine ion(F-)

Answer:

An anion

Explanation:

An ion of flourine wife form an anion. What is an anion? An anion is a negatively charged atom.It occurs as a result of gain of electron by an atom to stabilize it's octet structure.

This is a common phenomenon for non metals and halogens are a good example of that which are strongly electronegative with electronic configuration of 2,7......

Under conditions of "feasting", the body favors oxidation/utilization of which source for energy production
mezya [45]
During feasting, there is an increase in the supply of carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the body. Since these macronutrients are in excess, carbohydrates and proteins are utilized or oxidized as a source for energy production. On the otherhand, fats are accumulated as the rate of oxidation of this source does not increase during feasting.

Gases are measured in different units. Which of the following measurements of pressure are equal? Select all that apply.
viva [34]

Explanation:

Pressure of a gas is the combined force with which the molecules bombard a unit area of the wall of the container.

    1 atm  = 760mmHg

               = 760torr

               = 101325Pa

               = 101325Nm⁻²

 1mmHg  = 1torr

        1Pa = 1Nm⁻²

101.325 kPa  and 101,325 Pa are the same

           1000Pa = 1kPa

101,325 Pa  and 1 atm

1atm and 101.325 kPa

BRAINLIESTTT ASAP!! PLEASE HELP ME :)

Physical change is the change we can see with our eyes. Chemical change is the change that we cannot see. Examples: physical change: The Polar ice caps are melting, and we can see that as it happens. Chemical change: The cooking of an egg or some combustion, like a fire. We can't see the chemicals coming from the fire, but there are chemicals coming from what is being burned and is being released into the air that we cannot see.
