Answer:

Q= Magnesium R= Chlorine

Explanation:

The element Q should be magnesium and R is chlorine.

An ionic compound is a compound that is formed by the combination of a metal and non-metal. Such bonds forms when there is a transfer of electrons from the metals to the non-metals. This leaves a net positive charge on the metal and a negative charge on the non-metal.

The electrostatic attraction leads to the formation of the bond.

To solve this problem, the hypothetical compound is QR₂

Mg Cl

2 8 2 2 8 7

So, Mg transfers 2 electrons to two atoms of chlorine.

This leads to the formation of the compound MgCl₂

Darin skateboarded to the north at 4 m/s. In 5 seconds, he sped up to 7 m/s. What was his acceleration?

Julli [10]

To solve this problem we can use following equation.

v =u + at

Where v is the final velocity (m/s), u is the initial velocity (m/s), a is the acceleration (m/s²) and t is the time taken (s).

v = 7 m/s
u = 4 m/s
a = ?
t = 5 s

By applying the equation, we can get
7 m/s = 4 m/s + a x 5 s
3 m/s = a x 5 s
a = 0.6 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration is 0.6 m/s² towards north.
