Explain the process of ionic bond formation between K (potassium, a metal) and Br (bromine, a nonmetal).

Potassium belongs to group IA of the elements. This means that it will give up one of its electrons to form the cation K+. Opposite to that is bromine in which it accepts one electrons to form the anion Br-. The binding of these elements will form KBr and is formed from transfer of electron from one element to the other. This is the mechanism of ionic bond formation.

ANSWER ON ED: K donates, or transfers, one electron to bromine, which has 7 electrons. Both K and Br are now stable with 8 electrons. K becomes a positive ion and Br becomes a negative ion. The positive K ion and the negative Br ion attract each other to form an ionic bond.

Which of the following do cutoffs form in a meandering river
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: An oxbow lake forms after there has been deposition of sediment, by the new cutoff channel flowing adjacent to it, at the entrances of the abandoned bend; this seals the bend off from the rest of the river.

A barrel 1 m tall and 60 cm in diameter is filled to the top with water. What is the pressure it exerts on the floor beneath it?
allsm [11]

Answer:

The pressure on the ground is about 9779.5 Pascal.

The pressure can be reduced by distributing the weight over a larger area using, for example, a thin plate with an area larger than the circular area of the barrel's bottom side.  See more details further below.

Explanation:

Start with the formula for pressure

(pressure P) = (Force F) / (Area A)

In order to determine the pressure the barrel exerts on the floor area, we need the calculate the its weight first

F_g = m \cdot g

where m is the mass of the barrel and g the gravitational acceleration. We can estimate this mass using the volume of a cylinder with radius 30 cm and height 1m, the density of the water, and the assumption that the container mass is negligible:

V = h\pi r^2=1m \cdot \pi\cdot 0.3^2 m^2\approx 0.283m^3

The density of water is 997 kg/m^3, so the mass of the barrel is:

m = V\cdot \rho = 0.283 m^3 \cdot 997 \frac{kg}{m^3}= 282.151kg

and so the weight is

F_g = 282.151kg\cdot 9.8\frac{m}{s^2}=2765.08N

and so the pressure is

P = \frac{F}{A} = \frac{F}{\pi r^2}= \frac{2765.08N}{\pi \cdot 0.3^2 m^2}\approx 9779.5 Pa

This answers the first part of the question.

The second part of the question asks for ways to reduce the above pressure without changing the amount of water. Since the pressure is directly proportional to the weight (determined by the water) and indirectly proportional to the area, changing the area offers itself here. Specifically, we could insert a thin plate (of negligible additional weight) to spread the weight of the barrel over a larger area. Alternatively, the barrel could be reshaped (if this is allowed) into one with a larger diameter (and smaller height), which would achieve a reduction of the pressure.

Light rays from stars bend toward smaller angles as they enter Earth's atmosphere. a. Explain why this happens using Snell's law
Grace [21]

Answer:

Following are the answer to this question:

Explanation:

In option (a):

  • The principle of Snells informs us that as light travels from the less dense medium to a denser layer, like water to air or a thinner layer of the air to the thicker ones, it bent to usual — an abstract feature that would be on the surface of all objects. Mostly, on the contrary, glow shifts from a denser with a less dense medium. This angle between both the usual and the light conditions rays is referred to as the refractive angle.  
  • Throughout in scenario, the light from its stars in the upper orbit, the surface area of both the Earth tends to increase because as light flows from the outer atmosphere towards the Earth, it defined above, to a lesser angle.

In option (b):

  • Rays of light, that go directly down wouldn't bend, whilst also sun source which joins the upper orbit was reflected light from either a thicker distance and flex to the usual, following roughly the direction of the curve of the earth.  
  • Throughout the zenith specific position earlier in this thread, astronomical bodies appear throughout the right position while those close to a horizon seem to have been brightest than any of those close to the sky, and please find the attachment of the diagram.
