The aluminum atom_loses_____electrons to form an ion.
The ion that is formed is_Al³⁺_____.
aluminium has the electronic configuration as 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹
from the electronic configuration , we see that aluminium can attain stability by losing 3 electrons from outer shell.
after losing 3 electrons , the ion formed is given as Al³⁺
hence the correct options to fill in the blanks are lose and Al³⁺
The kilogram is the Standard International System of Units unit of mass. It is defined as the mass of a particular international prototype made of platinum-iridium and kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures.
Answer:
Number of electrons are flowing per second is 2.42 x 10¹⁹
Explanation:
The electric current flows through a wire is given by the relation :
....(1)
Here I is current, e is electronic charge, v is drift velocity of electrons and A is the Area of the wire.
But electric current is also define as rate of electrons passing through junction times their charge, i.e. ,
....(2)
Here N is the rate of electrons passing through junction.
From equation (1) and (2).


But area of wire, 
Here d is diameter of wire.
So, 
Substitute 2.91 x 10⁻³ m for d, 0.000191 m/s for v and 6 x 10²⁸ m⁻³ for n in the above equation.

N = 2.42 x 10¹⁹ s⁻¹

The other answer choices are from the imperial system
1. a. longitudinal waves.
There are two types of waves:
- Transverse waves: in transverse waves, the oscillations of the wave occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave
- Longitudinal waves: in longitudinal waves, the oscillations of the waves occur parallel to the direction in which the waves are travelling.
So, these types of waves are called longitudinal waves.
2. d. a medium
There are two types of waves:
- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field, and they can travel both in a medium and also in a vacuum (they do not need a medium to propagate)
- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, so they need a medium to propagate - therefore, the correct choice is d. a medium
3. a. AM/FM radio
Analogue signals consist of continuous signals, which vary in a continuous range of values. On the contrary, digital signals consist of discrete signals, which can assume only some discrete values. For AM and FM radios, signals are transmitted by using analogue signals.
