Answer:

Option d is correct = Negative ion

Explanation:

We know that an atom consist of electrons, protons and neutrons. Neutrons and protons are present inside the nucleus while electrons are present out side the nucleus. Electron has a negative charge and is written as e⁻. The mass of electron is 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg . While mass of proton and neutron is 1.672623×10⁻²⁷Kg  and 1.674929×10⁻²⁷ Kg  respectively.

Symbol of proton= P⁺  

Symbol of neutron= n⁰  

The number of electron or number of protons are called atomic number while mass number of an atom is sum of protons and neutrons. The  umber of protons and electrons are always equal to make the atom electrically neutral and when an atom loses its valance electron the number of protons increases and thus positive charge increased and atom form cation.

When an atom gain electron negative charge increase because of more number of electron thus atom form negative ion or anion. For example,

Anion formation:

X + e⁻ → X⁻

Cation formation:

X → X⁺ + e⁻

Thus option d is correct option.

Explain the term contact force and give examples​
aliya0001 [1]

Answer & Explanation:

In physics, a contact force is a force that acts at the point of contact between two objects, in contrast to body forces. Contact forces are described by Newton's laws of motion, as with all other forces in dynamics. Contact force is the force in which an object comes in contact with another object. Contact forces are also direct forces. Contact forces are ubiquitous and are responsible for most visible interactions between macroscopic collections of matter. Pushing a car up a hill or kicking a ball or pushing a desk across a room are some of the everyday examples where contact forces are at work. In the first case the force is continuously applied by the person on the car, while in the second case the force is delivered in a short impulse.

Determine whether each of the molecules below is polar or nonpolar. Tetrahedral C C l 4 CClX4 Nonpolar Tetrahedral C H 3 O H CHX
liraira [26]

Answer:

CCl4 - Nonpolar

CH3OH - polar

NH3 - polar

CS2 - Nonpolar

Explanation:

One important thing that we should know is that polarity has to do with the presence of a resultant dipole moment in a molecule.

Dipole moment is a vector quantity, This means that its direction is also taken into account when discussing the dipole moment of molecules.

Hence, symmetrical molecules such as CS2 and CCl4 are non-polar even though they have polar bonds because their dipoles cancel out(zero resultant dipole moment).

On the other hand, NH3 and CH3OH are non-symmetrical molecules hence they possess an overall dipole moment and are polar molecules.

If a solution containing A+ ions and a solution containing B- ions have just been mixed and [A+][B-] is greater than Ksp of AB,
frozen [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the solution of AB , they are split  to give ions as follows

AB ⇄ A⁺ + B⁻

Product of concentration of A⁺ and B⁻ in saturated solution of AB is constant .

This is called Ksp

Ksp = [A⁺] [ B⁻]

If product of concentration of A⁺  and B⁻ exceeds Ksp , the equilibrium shifts to the left side and excess ions come out of solution in the form of precipitate. So second option is the answer.

Determine the specific heat ofmaterial if a 12g sample absorbed 48j as it was heated from 20-40
devlian [24]

Answer:

c =0.2 J/g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Specific heat of material = ?

Mass of sample = 12 g

Heat absorbed = 48 J

Initial temperature = 20°C

Final temperature = 40°C

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT =  40°C -20°C

ΔT =  20°C

48 J = 12 g×c×20°C

48 J =240 g.°C×c

c = 48 J/240 g.°C

c =0.2 J/g.°C
