If an atom has 13 protons and is currently electrically neutral, what must happen to give the same atom a positive charge of +2e

The atom must lose 2 electrons

Explanation:

An atom consists of three types of particles:

- Protons, in the nucleus, with positive electric charge +e

- Neutrons, in the nucleus, with no electric charge

- Electrons, orbiting around the nucleus, with negative electric charge -e

As a result, the net electric charge of an atom is given by the number of protons minus the number of electrons:

Q = #p - #e

For a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons is the same, so the net charge is zero.

In order for an atom to have a positive charge of +2, it means that there must be 2 protons more than the number of electrons. Since atoms exchange electrons (and not protons), this means that the atom must have "lost" 2 electrons.

In this problem, we have an atom with 13 protons: this means that initially it also has 13 electrons. However, later the atom lost 2 electrons, and as a result, the final charge is +2e.

What is necessary to designate a position? A. a reference point B. a direction C. fundamental units D. motion E. all of these
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

E. all of these

Explanation:

The designation of a point in space all the points that necessary

- reference point

- a direction

- fundamental units

- a direction

- motion

all are necessary to designate a point in space. Hence option E is correct.

For example in simple harmonic motion we need to specify all the above factors of the object in order to designate the position of the object.

azamat

Answer:   <u>Trough </u> can lift the 403,342 ton pioneering spirit crane vessel 10 meters in 30 seconds as if it was a cork. This about 36 GJ if work and 1 GW of power.

Explanation:

  • Why trough?

Trough is the correct answer because<u> pioneering scale usually abide only on  trough not on the other given options</u>. A long , narrow depression between the waves or ridges is known as a trough. The lower point in the period is the trough.

  • <u>Speed -:</u> Speed is the distance per unit of time that a body moves. It's a quantity scaler that has just magnitude.
  • <u>Wave energy -: </u>The transmission and capture of energy by ocean surface waves is wave energy (or wave power). The energy collected is then used for all sorts of useful work, including the generation of electricity, water desalination, and water pumping.
  • <u>Crest -</u>: A crest point within a cycle on a wave with the highest value of upward displacement. A crest is a point on a surface wave where the medium's displacement is at its height.
  • <u>Amplitude -:</u> The maximum displacement or distance measured from its equilibrium position, moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave, is called amplitude. It is equal to half of the vibration path's length.
  • <u>Period-</u>: The duration T is the time needed to pass a given point for one complete cycle of vibration. The wave length decreases as the frequency of a wave increases.
  • <u>Wavelength-:</u> The distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave can be described as the wavelength. The frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength. This implies that the longer the wavelength, the smaller the frequency. Similarly, the shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency would be.
  • <u>Frequency</u> -: Frequency defines the number of waves in a given amount of time that travel through a fixed location. In the Hertz unit, frequency is normally measured.
  • <u>Information</u> -: A piece of data is a basic fact about the identity or properties of an object, i.e. a portion of its example.
  • <u>Milli -</u>: Milli is known as a merged form meaning 'thousand' (millipede) used in the metric system for unit names equal to one thousandth of the base unit (millimeter) given.

Hence , the answer is <u>TROUGH.</u>
