Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a bond is formed by sharing of electrons then it is known as a covalent bond and when a bond is formed by transfer of electrons then it is known as an ionic bond.

Atomic number of magnesium is 12 and its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 2. Atomic number of oxygen is 8 and its electronic configuration is 2, 6.

So, in order to attain stability magnesium will lose two electrons and oxygen will gain two electrons. Hence, an ionic bond will be formed.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement they form an ionic bond by exchanging two electrons best describes how magnesium (mg) and oxygen (o) bond.

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

oil production in the USA are majorly from this states:

1.Texas

2. North Dakota

3. California

4. Alaska

5. New Mexico

6. Oklahoma

7.Colorado

8. Wyoming

Explanation:

While other states have seen a boom in recent years, Texas is still the epicenter of the U.S. oil industry, with 27 operable refineries, more than any state. Texas produced 1.2 billion barrels of oil in 2014, which accounted for 36% of total U.S. output, and the state has almost one-third of all proven oil reserves with 10.5 billion barrels.

You travel 20.0 mph for 0.500 hour, 40.0 mph for 1.00 hour, 30.0 mph for 0.500 hour, and 50.0 mph for 2.00 hours. What is the av
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
The answer is 41.25 mph.

The average speed (v) can be expressed as:
v = D/T  
where
D is total distance: D = d1 + d2 + d3 + d4
T is total time: T = t1 + t2 + t3 + t4

Now let's calculate distances using the formula: d = v * t:
d1 = v1 * t1 = 20.0 * 0.500 = 10 mi
d2 = v2 * t2 = 40.0 * 1.00 = 40 mi
d3 = v3 * t3 = 30.0 * 0.500 = 15 mi
d4 = v4 * t4 = 50.0 * 2.00 = 100 mi

Thus, the average speed is:
v= \frac{D}{T}= \frac{d1 + d2 + d3 +d4}{t1+t2+t3+t4} = \frac{10+40+15+100}{0.500+1.00+0.500+2.00}= \frac{165}{4} = 41.25 mph

Three point charges have equal magnitudes, two being positive and one negative. These charges are fixed to the corners of an equ
lesantik [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force on positive charges will be \bf{227.06~N} and the magnitude of the force on the negative charge is \bf{302.7~N}.

Explanation:

Given:

The value of the charges, q = 3.5~\mu C.

The length of each side of the triangle, l = 2.9~cm.

Consider a equilateral triangle \bigtriangleup ABC, as shown in the figure. Let two point charges of magnitude q are situated at points A and B and another point charge -q is situated at point C.

The value of the force on the charge at point A due to charge at point C is given by

F_{CA} = \dfrac{kq^{2}}{l^{2}},~~along~CA

The value of the force on the charge at point A due to charge at point B is given by

F_{BA} = \dfrac{kq^{2}}{l^{2}},~~along~BA

The net resultant force on the charge at point A is given by

~~~~F_{A} = \sqrt{F_{BA}^{2} + F_{CA}^{2} + 2F_{BA}F_{CA}\cos 60^{0}}\\~~~~~= \dfrac{kq^{2}}{l^{2}}\sqrt{2(1 + \cos 60^{0})}\\or, F_{A}= \dfrac{\sqrt{3}kq^{2}}{l^{2}}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(1)

The value of the force on the charge at point B due to charge at point C is given by

F_{CB} = \dfrac{kq^{2}}{l^{2}},~~along~CB

The value of the force on the charge at point B due to charge at point A is given by

F_{AB} = \dfrac{kq^{2}}{l^{2}},~~along~AB

The net resultant force on the charge at point B is given by

~~~~F_{B} = \sqrt{F_{AB}^{2} + F_{CB}^{2} + 2F_{AB}F_{CB}\cos 60^{0}}\\~~~~~= \dfrac{kq^{2}}{l^{2}}\sqrt{2(1 + \cos 60^{0})}\\or, F_{B}= \dfrac{\sqrt{3}kq^{2}}{l^{2}}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(2)

The value of the force on the charge at point C due to charge at point A is given by

F_{AC} = \dfrac{kq^{2}}{l^{2}},~~along~AC

The value of the force on the charge at point C due to charge at point B is given by

F_{BC} = \dfrac{kq^{2}}{l^{2}},~~along~BC

The net resultant force on the charge at point C is given by

F_{C} = 2F_{BC} \sin 60^{0}~~along~the~line~perpendicular~to~AB\\~~~~~= \dfrac{2kq^{2}}{l^{2}}\sin 60^{0}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(3)

Substitute 3.5~\mu C for  q , 0.029~m for  l  and 9 \times 10^{9}~Nm^{2}C^{-2} for k in equation (1), we have

F_{A} = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}(9 \times 10^{9}~Nm^{2}C^{-2})(3.5 \times 10^{-6}~C)^{2}}{(0.029~m)^{2}}\\~~~~~= 227.06~N

Substitute 3.5~\mu C for  q , 0.029~m for  l  and 9 \times 10^{9}~Nm^{2}C^{-2} for k in equation (2), we have

F_{B} = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}(9 \times 10^{9}~Nm^{2}C^{-2})(3.5 \times 10^{-6}~C)^{2}}{(0.029~m)^{2}}\\~~~~~= 227.06~N

Substitute 3.5~\mu C for  q , 0.029~m for  l  and 9 \times 10^{9}~Nm^{2}C^{-2} for k in equation (3), we have

F_{C} = \dfrac{2(9 \times 10^{9}~Nm^{2}C^{-2})(3.5 \times 10^{-6}~C)^{2}}{(0.029~m)^{2}} \sin 60^{0}\\~~~~~= 302.7~N
