Maybe this would help understand it better.

<span>Tectonic plates can transport both continental crust and oceanic crust, or they may be made of only one kind of crust. Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust. At a subduction zone, the oceanic crust usually sinks into the mantle beneath lighter continental crust</span>

How would the model change as the atom forms bonds? The third shell would have eight electrons after the atom gains seven electr

atroni [7]

Answer:

The third shell would be empty, so the eight electrons on the second level would be the outermost after the atom lost one electron

Explanation:

When an atom is bonded with other atoms, a more stable configuration must be reached, which is why the energy of the molecule is less than the energy of the individual atoms, for this to happen in general, electrons are shared or lost and gained in each atom, depending on the electronegative of the same.

If we analyze an atom within the molecule, its last shell is full, in the case of atoms with few electrons in this shell, they are lost and in the case of many electors in this shell, it gains electrons to have eight (8) in total.

When reviewing the different answers, the correct one is:

* The third shell would be empty, so the eight electrons on the second level would be the outermost after the atom lost one electron

During a rodeo, a clown runs 7.7 m north, turns 49.9 degrees east of north, and runs 6.4 m. Then after waiting for the bull to come near, the clown turns due east and runs 19.8 m to exit the arena. The magnitude of the clown’s displacement is 27 m.

<u>Explanation: </u>

As the clown is running in the north direction for about 7.7 m and then he turns 49.9 degrees east of north. In the east of north, he covers a distance of 6.4 m and then turns east to exit the arena after covering a distance of 19.8 m. Let’s have a simple diagram to easily understand the problem.

In first step, the clown runs 7.7 m in north direction, so the image will be as in fig 1. Then he takes a direction of north east and covers a distance of 6.4 m, so the image will be modified as in fig 2. Then after the bull comes, he turns east and runs 19.8 m to exit the arena, so the image will be as in figure 3.

So, the extension of North line and the East line at a point shown as the dotted line in the above image, forms the total displacement as the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle. The extended dotted lines is nothing but the horizontal and vertical components of the angle 49.9 degree.

By using Pythagoras theorem, the total displacement can be found as

$\text { Total displacement }=\sqrt{(o p p)^{2}+(a d j)^{2}}$
