Answer:

It would tend to lose two electrons and form a +2 ion. Potassium is in the first column and therefore has 1 electron in its outermost shell. It would tend to lose one electron and form a +1 ion.

DerKrebs [107]
There are many ways renewable energy can power a car. The most popular renewable energy that powers cars are electric cars. They run on battery and need to be charged. They are very eco-friendly and don't produce as many greenhouse gases. There are also some cars that run on solar energy which is energy from the sun. 

For the electric car, an electric motor would be needed also a large battery. 
For the solar-powered car, you would need solar panel and the sun's energy. 

The electric car would need charging to be on the road for long. 
The solar-powered car would need backup when the sun goes down.

What is the overall charge of an atom. ​
Sveta_85 [38]

Overall, an atom is neutral charged. The Bohr model was for years accepted as the final authority because it agrees so well with experiment and observation. In this model an atom consists of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons. The neutrons are zero charge so we can forget them in looking for charges. For each proton (1 positive charge) there is always 1 electron (1 negative charge) in orbit around the nucleus. thus an atom has a equal number of electrons and protons and their net charge is zero.

We can do things to temporarily up set this natural balance (we call this electricity) but the atoms will eventually return to their naturally balanced state

A baby weighs 7 pounds, 4 ounces at birth and 7 pounds, I ounce at discharge. What percent of weight did the baby lose
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

2.6%

Explanation:

As, 1 ounce (oz) =  0.0625 pounds (lb)

Therefore, weight of baby at discharge = 7 lb,1 oz = 7+0.0625 lb = 7.0625 lb

Since, 1 oz =  0.0625 lb

⇒ 4 oz = 4×0.0625 = 0.25 lb

Therefore, weight of baby at birth = 7 lb,4 oz = 7+0.25 lb = 7.25 lb

The <u>amount of weight lost</u> is equal to the difference of weight of the baby at birth and discharge.

Therefore, <u>weight lost</u> = 7.25 lb - 7.0625 lb = <u>0.1875 lb</u>

Now, the <u>percentage of weight lost</u> by the baby is given by the amount of weight lost divided by the weight of the baby at birth.

Therefore, <u>the percentage of weight los</u>t = weight lost ÷ weight at birth = 0.1875 lb ÷ 7.25 lb × 100 = <u>2.6% </u>
