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.

Helen [10]

Answer:

The thrown rock will strike the ground 2.42s earlier than the dropped rock.

Explanation:

<u>Known Data</u>

  • y_{i}=300m
  • y_{f}=0m
  • v_{iD}=0m/s
  • v_{iT}=-29m/s, it is negative as is directed downward

<u>Time of the dropped Rock</u>

We can use y_{f}=y_{i}+v_{iy}t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}, to find the total time of fall, so 0=300m-\frac{(9.8m/s^{2})t_{D}^{2}}{2}, then clearing for t_{D}.

t_{D}=\sqrt[2]{\frac{300m}{4.9m/s^{2}}} =\sqrt[2]{61.22s^{2}} =7.82s

<u>Time of the Thrown Rock</u>

We can use y_{f}=y_{i}+v_{iy}t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}, to find the total time of fall, so 0=300-29t_{T}-\frac{(9.8)t_{T}^{2}}{2}, then, 0=-4.9t_{T}^{2}-29t_{T}+300, as it is a second-grade polynomial, we find that its positive root is t_{T}=5.4s

Finally, we can find how much earlier does the thrown rock strike the ground, so t_{E}=t_{D}-t_{T}=7.82s-5.4s=2.42s

Why are ionic solids poor conductors of electricity? The lattice is brittle. The ions are neutral. The ions are of equal but opp
sveta [45]

The ions are in fixed positions.

Explanation:

Ionic solids are poor conductors of electricity because their ions are fixed in position. Their ions are not free to move about. They are fixed in crystal lattices.

  • For the conduction of electricity, compounds must possess free mobile electrons and moving ions in solution.
  • Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic attraction between a metallic and non-metallic ion.
  • They actually contain ions but their ions are locked up.
  • They are not free to move about.
  • Electrical conduction involves ion mobility.
  • In molten and aqueous forms, they are able to conduct electricity because their ions are then mobile.

Earth's magnetic field is approximately 1/2 gauss, that is 50 micro-tesla because the SI field unit of a tesla is 10,000 gauss.
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

F = 0

Explanation:

The magnetic force is described by two expressions

for a moving charge

          F = q v x B

for a wire with a current

         F = I L xB

bold indicates vectors

let's write this equation in module form

         F = I L B sin θ

where the angle is between the direction of the current and the direction of the magnetic field

In this case they indicate that the cable goes from the South wall to the North wall, so this is the direction of the current

The magnetic field of the Earth goes from the south to the north and in this part it is horizontal

Therefore the current and the magnetic field are parallel, the angle between them is zero

           sin 0 = 0

consequently the magnetic force is zero

            F = 0
