Explain how valence electrons can result in the creation of ions.

7 0

So as you may know atoms are neutral because the number of protons (+ charge) and the number of electrons( - charge) are the same so they cancel out. When a valence electron leaves an atom it will have a +1 charge because there is one less negative than positives or there is one more positive than negatives since a negative electron left. If a valence electron is added a -1 charge because there is now one more negative than positive!!!
hope that helps!!

Which of the foolwing best define net force?

DochEvi [55]

Net force can be defined as the sum of force acting on an object in all the directions

.i.e Net force= F acting on a body at upward direction+ F at downward direction+ F at leftward direction+ F at rightward direction.

e.g if a body is at rest the sum of forces acting on body in all direction is zero

but if a body is moving its mean body is facing an unbalanced net force.

Answer:

10 mL= 0.01 L

Explanation:

V(water) = 20 mL

V(water + a marble) = 30 mL

V(marble) = V(water + a marble) - V(water) = 30 mL - 20 mL = 10 mL= 0.01 L

One object has a charge of +5.0 · 10-6 c, and a second object has a charge of +2.0 · 10-6

ruslelena [56]

The electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by
$F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 is the charge of the first object
q2 is the charge of the second object
r is the separation between the two objects

In our problem:
$q_1=+5.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C$
$q_2 = +2.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C$
$r=0.5 m$
So if we plug these numbers into the equation, we can find the electrostatic force between the two objects:
$F=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2}) \frac{(5.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C)(2.0 \cdot 10^{-6}C)}{(0.5 m)^2}=0.36 N$

How is potential energy converted to thermal energy in a system?

andrezito [222]

thermal energy which, by causing pressure and performing work on the pistons, is transformed into the mechanical energy that accelerates the vehicle (increasing its kinetic energy).
