Answer:

your question is incomplete as the options are not given. I guess following is the complete question.

Which of these atoms is most likely to share electrons with other atoms?

a) chlorine (7 valence electrons)

b) calcium (2 valence electrons)

c) argon (8 valence electrons)

d) carbon (4 valence electrons)

e) potassium (1 valence electron)

The correct option is d) carbon (4 valence electrons)

Explanation:

Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell. In order to complete the 8 electrons in its valence shell carbon has to make four covalent bonds by sharing its four electrons with the other atom. Carbon atom will neither gain the electrons nor it losses the electrons to follow the octet rule. So in the above mentioned options carbon is the atom that will share maximum electrons.

→ Chlorine has 7 electrons, it will gain 1 electron. It will not do the sharing.

→ Calcium has 2 electrons, it will lost these 2 electrons to complete its shell.

→ Argon has already a completed shell. It will not react with other atom.

→ Potassium has only 1 valence electron which it will lose to complete its shell.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: a) 73.41 10^-12 F; b)4.83* 10^3 N/C; c) 3.66 *10^3 N/C

Explanation: To solve this problem we have to consider the following: The Capacity= Charge/Potential Difference

As we know the capacity is value that depend on the geometry of the capacitor, in our case two concentric spheres.

So Potential Difference between the spheres is given by:

ΔV=- $\int\limits^a_b {E} \, dx$

Where E = k*Q/ r^2

so we have $\int\limits^a_b {K+Q1/r} \, dr$

then

Vb-Va=k*Q(1/b-1/a)=kQ (ab/b-a)

Finally using C=Q/ΔV=ab/(k(b-a))

To caclulate the electric firld we first obtain the charge

Q=ΔV*C=120 V*73.41 10^-12 F=8.8 10^-9 C

so E=KQ/r^2 for both values of r

r=12.8 cm ( in meters)

r2=14.7 cm

E(r1)=4.83* 10^3 N/C

E(r2)=3.66 *10^3 N/C

Answer:

a.Attractive

$2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N$

Explanation:

When it comes to charges, the charges which are alike repel each other and the charges which are different will attract each other.

Here, there is a proton and electron which are different particles hence, they will attract each other.

$q_1=q_2$ = Charge of electron and proton = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

r = Distance between them = 997 nm

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Force is given by

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{(997\times 10^{-9})^2}\\\Rightarrow F=2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N$

The force of attraction between the particles will be $2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N$

A Car with drives into a solid object with 70 km/h, from which height would it fall if it was in free fall?

Ilya [14]

Answer:

18.9 m.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 70 km/h

Height (h) =?

Next, we shall convert 70 km/h to m/s. This can be obtained as follow:

3.6 km/h = 1 m/s

Therefore,

70 km/h = 70 km/h × 1 m/s / 3.6 km/h

70 km/h = 19.44 m/s

Finally, we shall determine the height. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 19.44 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Height (h) =?

v² = u² + 2gh

19.44² = 0² + (2 × 10 × h)

377.9136 = 0 + 20h

377.9136 = 20h

Divide both side by 20

h = 377.9136 / 20

h = 18.9 m

Thus, the car will fall from a height of 18.9 m

Where could convection currents form? Check all that apply.

KatRina [158]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

In a freshwater lake
In the atmosphere
In Earth's mantle

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

<em><u>Convection currents are types that cause the process of convection, which the transfer of heat energy that occurs in fluids.</u></em>
<em><u>Convection currents are circular patterns that occurs in fluids such that the less dense warm fluids rises up while denser cold fluids sinks, </u></em>it is this movement of less dense warm fluid and denser cold fluids that creates circular patterns that causes the process of convection to take place.
<em><u>Convection currents may occur in the atmosphere where warm air rises while cold denser air sinks or moves towards the bottom, it may also occur in the mantle of the Earth and water or water bodies such as lakes.</u></em>
