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)

Which of the following is true of changes in momentum?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer: ⇒  Answer is 3

<h2>Explanation: momentum = mass × velocity</h2>

"A small force may produce a large change in momentum by acting on a very massive object".

THEY HAVEN'T GIVEN US THE TIME PERIOD NOR THE DISTANCE TRAVELED. THEREFORE WE CANNOT ACTUALLY DECIDE IF THE FORCE IS KEPT FOR A LONG TIME OR SHORT TIME. ANYWAYS SINCE THE MASS IS GIVEN AS MASSIVE , THE  MOMENTUM SHOULD BE DEFINITELY HIGH.

WHY I SAY OTHERS ARE WRONG:

1) For a small force to give a large change in momentum, it should act for a long time interval.

2) By applying a large force for a short time interval, the change of momentum should be large.

3) Correct answer.

4) Acting over a short distance can be the same as acting over a short period of time.Therefore the distance should be large in order for a larger momentum.

I HOPE IT HELPS!
