How does an atom of chlorine-37 become a chloride ion with a -1 charge?

Physics

Answer:

B. The atom gains 1 electron, to make a total of 18 electrons.

Explanation:

Chlorine is the 17th element in the periodic table, so it has atomic number 17:

Z = 17

This means that a neutral atom of chlorine has 17 protons and 17 electrons.

When a chlorine atom gains 1 electron, its electric charge (initially zero) becomes -1, since the electron has negative charge of -1 (in elemntary charge units). This also means that the number of electrons in the ion is now

17 + 1 = 18

So the correct answer is

B. The atom gains 1 electron, to make a total of 18 electrons

What is the approximate amount of thrust you need to apply to the lander to keep it's velocity roughly constant
earnstyle [38]

The approximate amount of thrust(force) you need to apply to the lander to

keep its velocity roughly constant is zero.

<h3>What is Newton's second law of motion?</h3>

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration the force acting

on the object is directly proportional to its rate of change of momentum.

F = m a

If the object is moving with uniform velocity, it simply means that the

acceleration is zero, and  the corresponding force will also be zero.

HELP PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Since binary is only 1 and 0, you can use a flashlight to display something similar to Morse code (see explanation below)

Explanation:

In binary, 1 means "on" and 0 means "off". A way you can use visible light is through turning on and off a flashlight. If the flashlight is turned on, it would represent a 1. If the flashlight is turned off, it would represent a 0. To make the message easier and more accurately understood for the receiver make sure to flash the lights in a consistent pattern (ex. each flash lasts no longer than half a second, one second between each digit, etc.)

For example, let's say you're trying to send the message "11001"

  on     on    off     off     on

0       1       2       3       4       5      <em>Numbers represent seconds</em>

As you can see above the message starts at 0 seconds. Between 0 and 1 seconds the flashlight is turned on once. Between 1 and 2 seconds the flashlight is turned on again, Between 2 and 3 seconds as well as 3 and 4 seconds the flashlight is not turned on at all. And finally between 4 and 5 seconds the flashlight is turned on.
