Answer:
Electrons
Explanation:
When determining the chemical properties of elements, the most important subatomic particle to consider is the electrons.
Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbits an atom. They occupy the extranuclear space of an atom.
These electrons determines the chemical properties of each atom. Most especially, the valence ones. All elements wants to resemble the noble gases, so they alter their number of electrons in order to attain this stable state.
Answer: A 20kg Stone traveling an 10 m/s
Explanation:
The Formula for Kinetic Energy is KE = 0.5 x mv², using this equation you can then find the item with the most Kinetic Energy in Joules (J) 0.5 x 20 x 10 = 200 Joules.
Answer & explanation:
Summary on electrochemical cells and redox reactions:
Electrochemical cells (or batteries) can be defined as devices capable of transforming chemical energy into electrical energy through spontaneous reactions of redox, in which electron transfer occurs.
Redox it is a chemical reaction in which there is the occurrence of oxidation and reduction of atoms of substances (chemical species) present in the process.
<u>Oxidation</u> is the loss of electrons by an atom of a chemical species, while <u>reduction</u> is the gain of electrons by an atom of a chemical species.
Thus, during an oxirreduction reaction, electrons move from the species that loses them towards the species that will receive them. This "movement" results in the formation of an electric current (or electrical energy) as occurs with batteries, for example.
<h2>Relative Humidity</h2>
Explanation:
- Humidity is the amount of moisture content present in the atmosphere.
Humidity is of two types:
- Absolute humidity.
- Relative humidity.
- Absolute humidity is the ratio of the amount of moisture content in the air to the unit volume of the air.
- Relative humidity can be derived as the ratio of moisture content in the air to the maximum amount of moisture that the air constitutes.
- Hence, the required answer is Relative humidity.
The correct answer is a metal atom forms a cation, and a nonmetal atom forms an anion. This is because metals are less electronegative than nonmetals and will therefore give electrons to nonmetals. Atoms that give up electrons will have a positive charge therefore becoming a cation while atoms that accept electrons will have a negative charge therefore becoming an anion.
Ions that have the same charge can't be attracted to each other since it takes a positive and negative charge to cause attractive forces.
A less electronegative atom will transfer electrons to a more electronegative atom.
A metal (cation) can pull electrons from another metal (not an ion) but that does not form an attractive force between the two metals (You will learn more about this when you go over reduction potentials, redox reactions, and electrochemistry).
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
