Answer: An atom's ability to attract other electrons and form a chemical bond

Explanation:

The electronegativity of an atom tells of its power to attract electrons. Electronegativity values of elements ranges from 0 to 4.0, a high value means higher ability to attract electrons while a lower value means lower ability to attract electrons. Also, a wider difference in electronegativity between two atoms gives an ionic bond unlike a covalent bond with narrow difference.

Thus, nonmetals like chlorine higher electronegativities than metals like potassium.

Answer:

$v=18.89\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

From the free-body diagram for the car, we have that the normal force has a vertical component and a horizontal component, and this component act as the centripetal force on the car:

$\sum F_x:Nsin(20^\circ)=ma_c(1)\\\sum F_y:Ncos(20^\circ)=mg(2)$
