4 0

Explanation:

When a chlorine atom forms an ion, it gains electrons, making it negative.  A neutral chlorine will become a chlorine with a -1 charge.  When it gains an electron, the radius increases.

When a sodium atom forms an ion, it loses electrons, making it positive.  A neutral sodium will become a sodium with a +1 charge.  When it loses an electron, the radius decreases.

Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between speed and velocity?
rodikova [14]
Speed and velocity is a scalar and vector quantity of a similar parameter, respectively. They both refer to how fast an object moves. However, the speed only has to do with the magnitude. The velocity takes into account the sign which indicates the direction of the movement. For example, the value is -5 m/s. The speed is 5 m/s, but the velocity is 5 m/s moving downwards because the negative sign denotes downward movement or movement to the left.

8090 [49]

Answer : Option A) Translation


Explanation : A composition of reflections over parallel lines is the same as a <u>Translation.</u>


To identify if the composition of reflections over parallel lines are same as translation or not?


We can check using a picture of some shape in the plane. Place the picture on the right side of two vertical parallel. Now, we can see the reflected the shape over the nearest parallel line, then check the reflection over the other parallel line. We see that the shape winds up in the same orientation, like it was just shifted over to the right. Hence, it is translation.
