There are 3 significant digits in 5.40.
(To help understand): Sig figs are just a way of simplifying a number.
<span>During a nuclear reaction, an atom must emit an alpha particle, which consists of 2 protons (positively charged) and 2 neutrons (neutrally charged). Thus, the alpha particle has a charge of +2 (there are no electrons, which are negatively charged, to balance out the two protons). When an atom emits an alpha particle, it will lose this particle, thus losing 2 protons and 2 neutrons as well. Since the atom in the equation goes from 84 protons to 82, and 86 neutrons to 84, it lost 2 protons and 2 neutrons, indicating that it emitted an alpha particle.</span>
<h2>Ionic bonds result from transferring of electrons</h2>
Explanation:
- Ionic bonds result from transferring of electrons.
- An ionic bond is also referred to as an electrovalent bond.
- The main reason for the formation of the bond is an electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions that are cation and anion in a chemical compound.
- The formation of such bonds occurs when the valence (outermost) electrons of one atom are transferred to another atom or the loss of electrons from one atom and gain of electrons of another atom.
- The atom that loses the electrons forms cation that is a positively charged ion.
- The atom that gains electrons forms an anion that is a negatively charged ion.
Answer:
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object. When temperature increases, the motion of these particles also increases. (That should give you the answer if you read closely first sentence)
