In a roller coaster, both the kinetic and potential energy in the car decreases at

Chemistry

Lemur [1.5K]2 years ago

We can confirm that in a roller coaster, kinetic and potential energy in the car decreases at  each successive hill because of  the force of gravity which converts potential  energy into  kinetic energy.

<h3>What are potential and kinetic energy?</h3>
  • Potential energy is referred to as <em><u>positional energy</u></em>.
  • This means that the object in question gains energy based on its position relative to others.
  • Kinetic energy is the energy of movement.
  • Gravity causes the roller coaster to fall, losing potential energy.
  • This causes it to gain all of the potential energy as kinetic energy.
  • Once at the bottom, the coaster no longer moves and thus loses the kinetic energy as well.

Therefore, we can confirm that gravity is the force that causes the shift from potential energy to kinetic energy and thus causes them both to decrease after each successful hill in the roller coaster.

The shape of the BF3 molecule is best described as
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The shape of the BF3 molecule is best described as trigonal planar.

Explanation:

The Lewis Structure for BF3 is like this:

 _            _

| F |        | F |

   \          /

        B

         |

      | F |

       ---

It forms three angles of 120° each. The bonds are in the same planar that's why it is trigonal planar and they are exactly the same.

Boron and Fluorine have 3 covalent bonds, produced by electronic promotion that enables the 2py and 2pz orbitals, leaving an electron to pair in the 2px. So boron will have 3 possible electrons to pair in 2s1, 2px and 2py, remember that electronic configuration for B is 1s2, 2s2, 2p1

By hybridization between the orbitals 2s2 and 2p1, the electrons of F, can joined to make the covalent bond. The new B configuration is 1s2, 2s1, 2px1, 2py1 (these last three, hybrid orbitals)

The nonmetals in Groups 5A, 6A, and 7A...
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The nonmetals in Groups 15, 16, and 17 form ions with charges of 3-, 2-, and 1-, respectively.

Explanation:

The elements of Group 18 (the noble gases) have a complete valence shell of eight electrons.

It is <em>easier</em> for the elements of Groups 15 to 17 <em>to</em> <em>gain</em> three, two, or one electron(s) to get a complete valence shell <em>than it is to lose</em> five, six, or seven valence electrons.

Thus, they form <em>negative ions</em> with charges of 3-, 2-, and 1-, respectively.

The charges <em>do not correspond</em> to the Group numbers of 15 to 17 or the old (pre-1990) Group numbers of 5A to 7A.
