I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. A refracting telescope is made smaller than a reflecting telescope because small lenses cause less distortion in images than big lenses. <span> They are not subject to chromatic aberration because reflected light does not disperse according to wavelength.</span>
What depends on the type of acid some acid you have to use plastic or aluminum to store
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The type of substances that has <span>chemical bonds that are not directional and valence electrons that move freely between the atoms are metals. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
A. The charge on an element is determined by the differences between the number of protons and electrons in an atom.
An atom will have no charges if the number of protons and electrons are the same.
- When an atom loses or gains electrons, the number of electrons will either decrease or increase
- if the number of electrons is more than the number of protons, the excess electrons is the charge on the atom. And this makes the atom become a negatively charged ion.
- if the number of electrons is lesser than the number of protons, the deficient electrons makes the atom a positively charged ion. The number of electrons by which the atom is deficient makes the atom a positively charged ion.
Charge = number of protons - number of electrons
B. Electrons form the charges they do because with the charge, they become stable like the noble gases.
The desire of every atom is to have stable electronic configuration like those of the noble gases.
A potassium atom with a configuration 2 8 8 1 will prefer to lose an electron to become an Argon atom making the ion stable.
