If the ion is negatively charged, anion, it means that it gains two
electrons from its surroundings. The number of electrons of an argon (neutral
atom) is 18. Two of the electrons in our anion is from the surrounding, so
originally it only has 16 electrons.
In the periodic table, the 16th element is sulphur. The
chemical symbol of sulphur is S. Thus, the anion is the negatively charged
sulphur with chemical symbol of S2-.
<span>We can relate the average speed
of the gas molecules by its kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is the work done
by the object due to its motion. It is represented by the formula of the half
the velocity squared multiply by the mass of the object. The absolute zero
theory is the assumption that at 0 Kelvin or -273.15 degrees Celsius, the gas
molecules stop moving. It is because the temperature is severely cold enough to
allow movement of the gas molecules. The gas molecule that is closest to the
absolute zero is in cylinder B because it moves so slow and its movement is
almost near to the absolute zero theory.</span>
Answer:
Observations of the sky allowed explorers to mark the passage of time both in hours and through the months of the year. Early astronomers also realized that the night sky does not look the same from different places on the Earth.
