Answer:

5

Explanation:

A lithium atom with an atomic number of 3 and a charge of -2 will have a total number of electrons.

The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. For a neutral atom that has not gained or lost electrons, the atomic number is the same as the number of electrons.

   neutral atom: atomic number of electrons

For neutral atom of lithium, we will have 3 electrons

Now, lithium with a charge of -2 has gained two more electrons to the original 3 this now makes it 5.

ii.

It is an anion because it is negatively charged.

Negatively charged particles are called anion.

A 60 and N net force is applied to a 12 kg box which is the acceleration of the box?
GarryVolchara [31]

The relation between force and mass and acceleration is

Force = mass X acceleration

The SI unit will be

Force = Newton

mass =kg

acceleration=\frac{m}{s^{2} }

thus

acceleration = \frac{Force}{mass}

putting values

acceleration=\frac{60 N}{12kg}=5\frac{m}{s^{2} }

Thus the acceleration will be

5\frac{m}{s^{2} }
