Why is the overall charge of the atom neutral or zero?

Physics

1 answer:

Answer:

Explanation:

this is because the neutrons do not have a charge, the things that have charge in an atom are electrons and protons.

and in the nucleus of an atom, there are protons and neutrons so you can see that A is not the answer

if you see the periodic table, you will know that the number of electrons and protons are equal, so the charges cancel each other out, hence the charge of an atom will be neutral

let me give you a tip which I got from my teacher, never write there is no charge in the atom, this suggests that there is no protons or electrons.

instead, write, the it is neutral

hope it helps if not please report it so that someone else gets to try it out

Find a unit vector normal to the plane containing Bold u equals 2 Bold i minus Bold j minus 3 Bold k and Bold v equals negative

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$\hat{w}=\dfrac{\vec{5i+13j-k}}{13.92}$

Explanation:

It is given that,

$\vec{u}=2i-j-3k$

$\vec{v}=-3i+j-2k$

Taking the cross product of v and v such that,

$\vec{w}=u\times v$

$\vec{w}=(2i-j-3k)\times (-3i+j-2k)$

$\vec{w}=5i+13j-k$

$|w|=\sqrt{5^2+13^2(-1)^2}$

|w| = 13.92

Let $\hat{w}$ is the unit vector normal to the plane containing u and v. So,

$\hat{w}=\dfrac{\vec{w}}{|w|}$

$\hat{w}=\dfrac{\vec{5i+13j-k}}{13.92}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A submarine emerges 1/9 of its volume when it partially floats on the sea surface. For make it completely submerge it is necessa

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

4,524,660 N

Explanation:

Assuming the submarine's density is uniform, 1/9th of the submarine's mass is equal to the mass of the displaced water.

m/9 = (1026 kg/m³) (50 m³)

m = 461,700 kg

mg = 4,524,660 N

The compound magnesium phosphate has the chemical formula Mg3(PO4)2. In this compound, phosphorous and oxygen act together as on

S_A_V [24]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The compound magnesium phosphate has the chemical formula Mg3(PO4)2. In this compound, phosphorus and oxygen act together as one charged particle, which is connected to magnesium, the other charged particle. What does the 2 mean in the formula 5Mg3(PO4)2? A. There are two elements in magnesium phosphate. B. There are two molecules of magnesium phosphate. C. There are two magnesium ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate. D. There are two phosphate ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate.

Answer:

There are two phosphate ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate.

Explanation:

The compound magnesium phosphate is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds always consists of two ions, a positive ion and a negative ion.

In this case, the positive ion is Mg^2+ while the negative ion is PO4^3-.

The subscript, 2 after the formula of the phosphate ion means that there are two phosphate ions in each formula unit of magnesium phosphate.

You are on a sled at the top of a hemispherical, snowy hill of radius 13 m. You begin to slide down the hill. How fast are you m

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Explanation:

There will be loss of potential energy due to loss of height and gain of kinetic energy .

loss of height = R - R cos 14 , R is radius of hemisphere .

R ( 1 - cos 12 )

= 13 ( 1 - .978 )

h = .286 m

loss of potential energy

= mgh

= m x 9.8 x .286

= 2.8 m

gain of kinetic energy

1/2 m v ² = mgh

v² = 2 g h

v² = 2 x 9.8 x 2.8

v = 7.40 m /s
