Why is an atom regarded as electrically unstable​

Chemistry
1 answer:
meriva3 years ago
5 0

Answer: An atom can be considered unstable in one of two ways. If it picks up or loses an electron, it becomes electrically charged and highly reactive. Such electrically charged atoms are known as ions. Instability can also occur in the nucleus when the number of protons and neutrons is unbalanced.

Since I cannot find the choices, I will tell you some of the benefits of electroplating in different industries. You can compare these benefits with the choices you have and choose the best fit.

1- Forms a protective layer to protect the material from the conditions of the atmosphere as the corrosion

2- Improves the appearance of some inexpensive materials and makes them look more appealing

3- Can enhance the electrical conductivity of materials

4- electroplating of zinc-nickel or gold can survive high temperatures

5- Sometimes hardens the material

6- Increases the thickness of the material

Which statement describes thermal energy?
Alona [7]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Thermal energy is defined as the internal energy of an object because of the kinetic energy present within the molecules of the object.

So, when thermal energy is added to an object then kinetic energy within its molecules will also increase. As a result, temperature of the object will also increase due to increase in number of collisions between the molecules.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement energy that is associated with temperature, describes thermal energy.

Describe what conditions exist in water molecules to make them dipolar.
lesantik [10]
<span>The bent geometry of the water molecule gives a slight overall negative charge to the oxygen side of the molecule and a slight overall positive charge to the hydrogen side of the molecule. This slight separation of charges gives the entire molecule an electrical polarity, so water molecules are dipolar.</span>
