If an atom has 13 protons and is currently electrically neutral, what must happen to give the same atom a positive charge of +2e

Alex777 [14]

The atom must lose 2 electrons

Explanation:

An atom consists of three types of particles:

- Protons, in the nucleus, with positive electric charge $+e$

- Neutrons, in the nucleus, with no electric charge

- Electrons, orbiting around the nucleus, with negative electric charge $-e$

As a result, the net electric charge of an atom is given by the number of protons minus the number of electrons:

Q = #p - #e

For a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons is the same, so the net charge is zero.

In order for an atom to have a positive charge of +2, it means that there must be 2 protons more than the number of electrons. Since atoms exchange electrons (and not protons), this means that the atom must have "lost" 2 electrons.

In this problem, we have an atom with 13 protons: this means that initially it also has 13 electrons. However, later the atom lost 2 electrons, and as a result, the final charge is +2e.

A horizontal uniform bar of mass 2.7 kg and length 3.0 m is hung horizontally on two vertical strings. String 1 is attached to t

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

14.36 N

Explanation:

$T_{1}$ = Tension in string 1

$T_{2}$ = Tension in string 2

$m_b$ = mass of the bar = 2.7 kg

$W_b$ = weight of the bar

weight of the bar is given as

$W_b = m_{b} g = (2.7) (9.8) = 26.46$ N

$m_m$ = mass of the bar = 1.35 kg

$W_m$ = weight of the monkey

weight of the monkey is given as

$W_m = m_{m} g = (1.35) (9.8) = 13.23$ N

Using equilibrium of torque about left end

$W_{m} (AB) + W_{b} (AB) = T_{2} (AC)\\W_{m} (AB) + W_{b} (AB) = T_{2} (AD - CD)\\(13.23) (1.5) + (26.46)(1.5) = T_{2} (3 - 0.65)\\\\T_{2} = 25.33$ N

Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction

$T_{1} + T_{2} = W_{b} + W_{m}\\T_{1} + 25.33 = 26.46 + 13.23\\T_{1} = 14.36$ N

What region of the spectrum best corresponds to light with a wavelength equal to:_____ a. The diameter of a hydrogen atomb. The

zavuch27 [327]

We will make the comparison between each of the sizes against the known wavelengths.

In the case of the hydrogen atom, we know that this is equivalent to $10^{-10}$ m on average, which corresponds to the wavelength corresponding to X-rays.

In the case of the Virus we know that it is oscillating in a size of 30nm to 200 nm, so the size of the virus is equivalent to the range of the wavelength of an ultraviolet ray.

In the case of height, it fluctuates in a person around $10 ^ 0$ to $10 ^ 1$ m, which falls to the wavelength of a radio wave.
