What is an ion and how does an atom become both positive or negative ion?

Physics
1 answer:
Bess [88]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

An ion is an atom or group of atoms with a positive or negative charge. Ions form when atoms lose or gain electrons to obtain a full outer shell: metal atoms lose electrons to form positively charged ions non-metal atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged ions.

Arte-miy333 [17]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

100 times

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The largest stars are 100 times the mass of the Sun.
  • <u>The giant stars are about 10 to 100 times the radius of the sun</u>, which means they are 100 times brighter than the sun.
  • <em><u>The largest known star in terms of mass and brightness is known as the Pistol Star. It is believed to be 100 times as massive as our Sun, and 10,000,000 times as bright.</u></em>

To demonstrate the tremendous acceleration of a top fuel dragracer, you attempt to run your car into the back of a dragster that
noname [10]

Answer:

a. 2v₀/a   b. 2v₀/a  

Explanation:

a. Since you are moving with a constant velocity v₀, the distance, s you cover in time = t max is s = v₀t.

Since the dragster starts from rest with an acceleration, a, using

s' = ut + 1/2at² where u = 0 and s' = distance moved by dragster

s' = 0t + 1/2at²

s' = 1/2at²

Since the distance moved by me and the dragster must be the same,

s = s'

v₀t. =  1/2at²

v₀t. - 1/2at² = 0

t(v₀ - 1/2at) = 0

t= 0 or v₀ - 1/2at = 0

t= 0 or v₀ = 1/2at

t= 0 or t = 2v₀/a  

So the maximum time tmax = 2v₀/a

b. Since the distance covered by me to meet the dragster is s = v₀t in time, t = tmax which is also my distance from the dragster when it started. So, my distance from the dragster when it started is s =  v₀(2v₀/a)

= 2v₀/a

How is the potential difference same in capacitors arranged in parallel combination?​
zimovet [89]

Answer:

<h2>Potential difference across capacitors in parallel </h2>

Two or more capacitors are said to be connected in parallel if each one of them is connected across the same two points. In a parallel combination of capacitors potential difference across each capacitor is same but each capacitor will store different charge.
