Answer:

In an ionic bond , an element will have to lose or gain electrons.

Explanation:

Ionic bond, also called electrovalent bond, type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound.
Such a bond forms when the valence (outermost) electrons of one atom are transferred permanently to another atom.
The atom that loses the electrons becomes a positively charged ion (cation), while the one that gains them becomes a negatively charged ion (anion).

∴

The number of electrons an atom would gain or lose when forming ionic bonds cannot be zero.

Predict the deformation or elongation of a spring that has a constant of elasticity of 400 N/m when a force of 75 N is applied i

morpeh [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Give that,

Spring constant (k)=40N/m

Force applied =75N

Since the force is applied to the right, we don't know if it is compressing or stretching the spring

So let assume it compress

Using hooke's law

F=-ke

e=-F/k

Then, e=-75/40

e=-1.875m

The deformation is 1.875m.

Let assume it stretch

Using hooke's law

-F=-ke

e=F/k

Then, e=75/40

e=1.875m

The elongation is 1.875m

A tin can has a volume of 1100 cm³ and a mass of 80 g. Approximately how many grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking in

Kruka [31]

Answer:

1020g

Explanation:

Volume of can= $1100cm^3=1100\times 10^{-6}m^3$

$1cm^3=10^{-6}m^3$

Mass of can=80g= $\frac{80}{1000}=0.08kg$

1Kg=1000g

Density of lead= $11.4g/cm^3=11.4\times 10^{3}=11400kg/m^3$

By using $1g/cm^3=10^3kg/m^3$

We have to find the mass of lead which shot can it carry without sinking in water.

Before sinking the can and lead inside it they are floating in the water.

Buoyancy force = $F_b=Weight of can+weight of lead$

$\rho_wV_cg=m_cg+m_lg$

Where $\rho_w=10^3kg/m^3=$ Density of water

$m_c=$ Mass of can

$m_l=$ Mass of lead

$V_c=$ Volume of can

Substitute the values then we get

$1000\times 1100\times 10^{-6}=0.08+m_l$

$1.1-0.08=m_l$

$m_l=1.02 kg=1.02\times 1000=1020g$

$1 kg=1000g$

Hence, 1020 grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking water.

Two particles A and B start simultaneously from a Point P with velocities 20 m/s and 30 m/s respectively. A and B move with acce

zysi [14]

Answer:

20 m/s

Explanation:

Given

u(A) = 20 m/s
u(B) = 30 m/s
acceleration equal in magnitude but opposite in direction

Solving

Velocity of A at Q = 30 m/s
From, P to Q, Δv(A) = 30 - 20 = +10 m/s
Therefore, velocity of B at Q will be decreased by 10 as it is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to A
Δv(B) = v(B at Q) - u(B at P)
-10 m/s = v(B at Q) - 30 m/s
v(B at Q) = 30 - 10 = 20 m/s
