The nucleus of an atom is positively charge.
Ivahew [28]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Nucleus of an atom consist of neutrons and protons and it is the smallest part of atom.

So the total charge on the nucleus is due to charge of protons as we know that neutrons are neutral in nature and they do not have any charge on it.

So we will have

Q_{proton} = + 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

Q_{neutron} = 0 C

Q_{electron} = - 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

so here we can say that total charge on a nucleus must be positive charge which is only due to protons present inside the nucleus.

What is the purpose of a kink in a thermometer?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

A 'kink' in the glass tube which breaks the mercury as it contracts, storing the highest temperature reading. The glass tube is shaped like a lens to magnify the thin mercury thread. Shaking the thermometer resets the mercury back into the bulb.

Elements that typically give up electrons CHECK ALL THAT APPLY
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

B. have a lower ionization energy

D. are metals

Explanation:

An atom can be defined as the smallest unit comprising of matter that forms all chemical elements. Thus, atoms are basically the building blocks of matters and as such determines or defines the structure of a chemical element.

Generally, atoms are typically made up of three distinct particles and these are protons, neutrons and electrons.

In Chemistry, electrons can be defined as subatomic particles that are negatively charged and as such has a magnitude of -1.

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

Valency can be defined as a measure of the combining power of a chemical element with other atoms to form a molecule or chemical compound.

Typically, valency is measured by the amount of hydrogen atoms that a chemical element can combine with or displace to form a molecule or chemical compound.

Ionization energy can be defined as the minimum energy required to remove or detach an electron from a neutral atom in a gaseous state.

Generally, the ionization energy of chemical elements tend to increase from left to right across a period on the periodic table. This increase is due to the fact that the atomic radius of chemical elements generally decreases across the periodic table, typically from alkali metals (group one elements such as hydrogen, lithium and sodium) to noble gases (group eight elements such as argon, helium and neon) i.e from left to the right of the periodic table. Also, the atomic radius of a chemical element increases down each group of the periodic table, typically from top to bottom (column).

This ultimately implies that, atoms with relatively large atomic radii tend to have a low electron affinity and a low ionization energy.

In conclusion, chemical elements that typically give up electrons are metals because their outermost shell contains excess electrons and have a lower ionization energy.

In the following figure, electric field at y axis will be maximum at y=?
Strike441 [17]

Because of symmetry electric field component in the x axis cancels out. Now just use electric field formula and slap that sine of theta cause you want the vertical component of electric field and multiply that by two since there’s two charges. I’ve shown my work. Hope it helps✌

Two objects are raised off the ground and one of them is three times as high as the other one. How do their potential energy com
DochEvi [55]

The potential energy of any object depends on its mass as well as its height off the ground.

Potential energy = mass x gravity x height.

We don't have enough information to compare the potential energies of these two objects because we don't know their masses.
