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)

What is the hang time when the person moves 6 m horizontally during a 1.25 m high jump?
AlekseyPX

Answer:

1 sec

Explanation:

Horizontal distance (x) = 6m

Vertical distance (y) = 1.25m

Hang time is the duration the object is in the air before it reaches maximum height.

The time of free fall is given by

t = √2y/g

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = √(2*1.25)/9.8

t = √2.5/9.8

t = 0.5secs

Hang time = 2*0.5

= 1 sec

Does parallax affect the precision of a measurement that you make
Paul [167]
Yes, parallax affects the precision of a measurement that you make. It introduces an error in the order of the parallax. It will cause the measurement to be different from the real answer. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

A filing cabinet weighing 556 N rests on the floor. The coefficient of static friction between it and the floor is 0.68, and the
zvonat [6]

Explanation:

"Static friction is a force that keeps an object at rest. It must be overcome to start moving the object."

(556 x 0.68) = static friction of 378.08N. before movement occurs.

The  forces (a) and (b) will not move it.  

Each will incur a frictional force preventing movement equal to itself, = 222N. and 334N. respectively.

Forces (c) and (d) will move it, and accelerate it.

Forces (c) and (d) will both encounter friction of (556 x 0.56) = 311.36N. when the cabinet is moving.
