Answer:

-2

Explanation:

The model of the oxygen atom will probably have an electrical charge of -2.

Now let us explain how to find the charge on any atom.

The charge on an atom is the number of electrons gained or lost by specie. Electrons are usually lost in any atom so that they can attain stability.

These electrons are removed from the valence shell because they are the outermost shell electrons. They are most weakly held electrons in an atom.

An atom of oxygen has:

     8 electrons with a configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁴

   Charge = number of protons - number of electrons

        neutral oxygen has 8 electrons and protons, charge is 0

What is the de Broglie wavelength, in cm, of a 11.0-g hummingbird flying at 1.20 x 10^2 mph?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:1.123 x 10^-31cm

Explanation:

mass of humming bird=  11.0g

speed= 1.20x10^2mph

but I mile = 1.6m

1km=1000

I mile = 1.6x10^3m

1.20x10^2mph= 1.6x10^3m /1mile x at 1.20 x 10^2

=1.932 x10^5m

recall that  

1 hr= 60 min

1 min=60 secs, 1hr=3600s

Speed = distance/ time

=1.932 x10^5 / 3600= 5.366 x 10 ^1 m/s

m= a 11.0g= 11.0 x 10^-3kg

h=6.626*10^-34 (kg*m^2)/s

Wavelength = h/mu

= 6.626*10^-34/(11 x 10^-3 x 5.366x 10^1)

6.63x10^-34/ 590.26x 10 ^-3= 1.123 x10^-33m

but 1m = 100cm

1.123 x 10 ^-33 x 100 = 1.123 x 10^-31cm

de broglie wavelength of humming bird = 1.123 x 10 ^-31cm

What has to be true of a substance for it to dissolve in water?
lord [1]

The polarity of a water molecule comes from the uneven distribution of electron density of hydrogen and oxygen atom. The oxygen in the water molecule is more electronegative than the hydrogen. Water has a partial positive charge near the hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge near the oxygen atom. The result of this electrostatic attraction results in the bond called hydrogen bond. Also, because of this bond, it has the ability to dissolve most of the solutes due to its polarity and bonding.
