How a cation is formed by an atom?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
fenix001 [56]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Cations are positively charged atoms and hence we need to make the atom positively charged in order to get a cation

We know that an atom is neutral as a whole, so we have equal number of electrons and protons

since we cannot mess with the number of protons in an atom, we have to do it by altering the number of electrons

If we reduce the amount of electrons in an atom, the net charge will be positive and hence a cation will be formed

A radio wave travels 186,000 miles per second. How many kilometers will the wave travel in one microsecond? (1 mile = 1.61 km)
Komok [63]
1) 1 second = 1000000 microseconds

2) 186000 / 1.61 = 115527.9503 Km

3) We use the equation:
Speed = distance / time

4) rearrange for distance by multiplying both sides by time to get;

Distance = speed x time


5) plug in the values:

Distance = 115527.9503 x 0.000001
= 0.1155279503 Km

3. give reasons
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

A.A gas exerts pressure on the walls of the container. Reason: They have high kinetic energy and negligible force of attraction to move constantly moving with high speed in all directions. ... These collisions of the gas particles with the container walls exert pressure on the walls of the container.

B A gas exerts pressure on the walls of the container due to imapact of its gas molecules with hight velocity .

C.A wooden table should be called a solid. Reason: It has a definite shape and volume. It is very rigid and cannot be compressed, i.e., it has a solid characteristic.

D.We can easily move our hand in air but to do the same through a solid block of wood we need a karate expert. It is because the molecules of air has less force of attraction between them and a very small external force can separate them and pass through it.

Which electron transition represents a gain of energy
Helen [10]

Answer:

The transition from lower energy level to higher energy level require a gain of energy.

Explanation:

When transition occur from lower energy level to higher energy level require a gain of energy. Electron could not jump unto higher energy level without gaining thew energy.

When electron jump into lower energy level from high energy level it loses the energy.

For example electron when jumped from 2nd to 3rd shell it gain energy and when in return back to 2nd shell from 3rd shell it loses energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.
