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)

Lapatulllka [165]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the calculation of the speed of sound, the calculation of the Mach number and finally the calculation of the temperature at the front stagnation point. We will calculate the speed in international units as well as the temperature. With these values we will calculate the speed of the sound and the number of Mach. Finally we will calculate the temperature at the front stagnation point.

The altitude is,

z = 20km

And the velocity can be written as,

V = 3530km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

V = 980.55m/s

From the properties of standard atmosphere at altitude z = 20km temperature is

T = 216.66K

k = 1.4

R = 287 J/kg

Velocity of sound at this altitude is

a = \sqrt{kRT}

a = \sqrt{(1.4)(287)(216.66)}

a = 295.049m/s

Then the Mach number

Ma = \frac{V}{a}

Ma = \frac{980.55}{296.049}

Ma = 3.312

So front stagnation temperature

T_0 = T(1+\frac{k-1}{2}Ma^2)

T_0 = (216.66)(1+\frac{1.4-1}{2}*3.312^2)

T_0 = 689.87K

Therefore the temperature at its front stagnation point is 689.87K

Which is a scientific claim?
forsale [732]

Answer:

D. Observations of constellations show that stars have moved over time.

Explanation:

A scientific claim is basically an observation in science.

Constellation changes there position over time because of earth's rotation around sun. So, observation of constellations shows that stars have moved over time is a scietific claim. If stars would not move then constellation will not form.

Hence, the correct answer is "of constellations show that stars have moved over time".

A 6 cm object is 15 cm from a convex lens that has a focal length of 5 cm. What is the distance of the image from the lens, to t
Vesna [10]

Answer:

7.50 cm

Explanation:

The formula

1/v + 1/u = 1/f

Is used.

where.

u is the object distance.

v is the image distance.

f is the focal length of the lens.

1/v + 1/15 = 1/5

1/v = 1/5 - 1/15

1/v = (3-1)/15

1/v = 2/15

2v = 15

V = 15/2

V = 7.5 cm

For focal length, f in lens is always taken as negative for concave and positive for convex. ... And for image distance, V in lens it is taken as positive in Convex lens since image is formed on +X side. It is taken as negative in Concave lens since image is formed in -X side of the Cartesian.
