An atom gains an additional electron. What is the overall charge of the ion that is formed?

2 answers:

8 0

An is formed when an atom loses or gains one or more electrons. Because the number of electrons in an ion is different from the number of protons, an ion does have an overall electric charge. Consider how a positive ion can form from an atom. The left side of the illustration below represents a sodium (Na) atom

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

t₂ = 3.89 s

Explanation:

given,

speed of car = 23 m/s

speed of motorcycle = 23 m/s

after time of 4 s distance between them is equal to = 53 m

motorcycle accelerates at = 7 m/s

time taken to catch up with car = ?

let t₂ be the time in which motorcycle catches car.

distance traveled by car in t₂ s

d = 23 t₂ + 53

distance traveled by motorcycle

using equation of motion

$s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$s = 23 t_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times 7 \times t_2^2$

now, equating both the distances

$23t_2 + 53= 23 t_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times 7 \times t_2^2$

$t_2^2 = 15.143$

t₂ = 3.89 s

time taken by the motorcycle to catch the car is equal to 3.89 s

How to find a planet’s gravitational field strength using its radius?

grin007 [14]

The gravitational field strength is approximately equal to 10 N.

Explanation:

Gravitational field strength is the measure of gravitational force acting on any object placed on the surface of the planet. Generally, the mass of the object is considered as 1 kg.

So the gravitational field strength will be equal to the gravitational force acting on the object.

The formula for gravitational field strength is

$g = \frac{F}{m}$

Here g is the gravitational field strength, m is the mass of the object placed on the surface and F is the gravitational force acting on the object.

Since, the mass of any object placed on the surface of earth will be negligible compared to the mass of Earth, so the mass of the object is considered as 1 kg.

Then the g = F

And $F =\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }$

Here G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of Earth and m is the mass of the object placed on the surface, while r is the radius of the Earth.

$g = F = \frac{6 \times 10^{24} \times 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times 1}{(6.6 \times 10^{6}) ^{2} }$

$g = 0.977 \times 10^1= 9.77\ N$

So, the gravitational field strength is approximately equal to 10 N.

A certain atom has atomic number Z = 25 and atomic mass number A = 52. a. What is the approximate radius of the nucleus of this

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a)The approximate radius of the nucleus of this atom is 4.656 fermi.

b) The electrostatic force of repulsion between two protons on opposite sides of the diameter of the nucleus is 2.6527

Explanation:

$r=r_o\times A^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$r_o=1.25 \times 10^{-15} m$ = Constant for all nuclei

r = Radius of the nucleus

A = Number of nucleons

a) Given atomic number of an element = 25

Atomic mass or nucleon number = 52

$r=1.25 \times 10^{-15} m\times (52)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$r=4.6656\times 10^{-15} m=4.6656 fm$

The approximate radius of the nucleus of this atom is 4.656 fermi.

b) $F=k\times \frac{q_1q_2}{a^2}$

k= $9\times 10^9 N m^2/C^2$ = Coulombs constant

$q_1,q_2$ = charges kept at distance 'a' from each other

F = electrostatic force between charges

$q_1=+1.602\times 10^{-19} C$

$q_2=+1.602\times 10^{-19} C$

Force of repulsion between two protons on opposite sides of the diameter

$a=2\times r=2\times 4.6656\times 10^{-15} m=9.3312\times 10^{-15} m$

$F=9\times 10^9 N m^2/C^2\times \frac{(+1.602\times 10^{-19} C)\times (+1.602\times 10^{-19} C)}{(9.3312\times 10^{-15} m)^2}$

$F=2.6527 N$

The electrostatic force of repulsion between two protons on opposite sides of the diameter of the nucleus is 2.6527

How many electrons are depicted in the electron dot diagram of an electrically neutral nitrogen atom? A. two B. six C. eight D.

goldenfox [79]

Answer is D - five.

Explanation;

- Electron dot diagrams show the valence electrons around the element by using dots.

- Valence electrons are the electrons which are in outermost shell of the atom.

-The atomic number of the N atom is 7.

Atomic number = number of protons = 7

If the atom is neutral,

number of protons = number of electrons.

Hence, N atom has 7 electrons.

- The electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p³.

Hence, N atom has 2 + 3 = 5 valence electrons. So, five electrons are represented in electron dot diagram of N.
