In neutral state the atom got an equal number of protons (+) and electrons (-). If you lose and electron then you will have 1 more proton than electron, so you have a +, but if you gained an electron, then you'd have one more electron than protons, so you'd get a -.
<span>Fx: carbon has 6 protons and 6 electrons. If carbon loses an electron, then the carbon atom would have 6 protons and only 5 electrons, then you'd have 6+ and 5-, which is 1 more plus and minuses, so you have C+. </span>
<span>If Carbon gained an electron, then you'd have 6+ and 7-, which is 1 more minus than pluses, so you'd have C-. </span>
<span>Last example, if you gained 2 electrons, then you'd have 6+ and 8-, which is 2 more minuses than pluses, which would give you an C-- (Also known as: C2-)</span>
Percentage for which columns btw if its something as easy as percentage for 4/5... you divid 4/5= .80 then.... .80*100= 80%
A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. 40 J is the canoe’s kinetic energy.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
The given canoe has the mass and is being given to move at a speed. Therefore the kinetic energy of the canoe can be calculated using the following method,
Given that mass of the canoe = 20 kg and its speed =1 m/s
As we know that the Kinetic energy has the formula,
Therefore, substituting the value into the equation, we get,
= 40 J
