The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Based on its location on the periodic table, which element would be most likely to form a positive ion?

A. Sulfur (S)

B. Chlorine (Cl)

C. Sodium (Na)

D. Fluorine (F)

<u>Answer:</u> The element which is most likely to form positive ion is Sodium (Na)

<u>Explanation:</u>

An ion is formed when a neutral atom looses or gains electrons

When an atom looses electrons, it results in the formation of positive ion known as cation.

When an atom gains electrons, it results in the formation of negative ion known as anion.

For the given options:

  • <u>Option A:</u> Sulfur

Sulfur is the 16th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4

This element will gain 2 electrons to attain stable electronic configuration and will form S^{2-} ion

  • <u>Option B:</u> Chlorine

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

This element will gain 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration and will form Cl^{-} ion

  • <u>Option C:</u> Sodium

Sodium is the 11th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of 1s^22s^22p^63s^1

This element will loose 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration and will form Na^{+} ion

  • <u>Option D:</u> Fluorine

Fluorine is the 9th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of 1s^22s^22p^5

This element will gain 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration and will form F^{-} ion

Hence, the element which is most likely to form positive ion is Sodium (Na)

A rock is lifted by a machine to a height of 10m. If it has a mass of 22 kilograms
zmey [24]

Answer:

2156J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of lift  = 10m

Mass  = 22kg

Unknown:

Work done by the machine  = ?

Solution:

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a certain distance.

So;

        Work done  = Force x distance

Here;

       Work done  = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

      Work done  = 22 x 9.8 x 10  = 2156J
