Gains. when theres a neutral atom it has an equal number protons and electrons(they all cancel which is what makes it neutral) so when it gains an electron there’s 1 more negative that doesn’t cancel so it changes the charge to negative.

Answer:

Gains

Explanation:

If it gains an electron it causes the atom to become negative since electrons are negative and an overall charge of an atom is neutral. Therefore, it would become negative.

Hope this helps :)

An oxygen atom has a mass of 2.66 x 10^-23 g and a glass of water has a mass of 0.050kg. Use this information to answer the ques
fomenos
<h2>ANSWER OF EACH PART ARE GIVEN BELOW</h2>

Explanation:

A)

We know, each mole contains N_A= 6.023 \times 10^{23} atoms.

It is given that mass of one oxygen atom is m= 2.66\times 10^{-23}\ g.

Therefore, mass of one mole of oxygen, M=m\times N_A.

Putting value of n and N_A,

M=2.66\times 10^{-23}\times 6.023\times 10^{23} \ gm\\M=16.0\ gm

B)

Given,

Mass of water in glass=0.050 kg = 50 gm.

From above part mass of one mole of oxygen atoms = 16.0 gm.

Therefore, number of mole of oxygen equivalent to 50 gm oxygen=\dfrac{50}{16}=3.1 \ moles.

Burka [1]
In the given above, we have two densities which are 0.89 g/mL and 0.72 g/mL. We are also given that the liquids are immiscible. After the settlement of the liquids, they will form two layers.

The heavier substance, the one which has a higher density will be at the bottom and the lighter substance, the one which has a lower density will be at the top layer.

What is the source of Earth's magnetic field according to what you have read in chapter 222
horsena [70]

Answer:

Scientists know that today the Earth's magnetic field is powered by the solidification of the planet's liquid iron core. The cooling and crystallization of the core stirs up the surrounding liquid iron, creating powerful electric currents that generate a magnetic field stretching far out into space.
