i have a question about atoms. How would i find electrons when the atomic number is the number of protons and electrons?

1 answer:

3 0

The atomic number is the same as the amount of electrons and protons. For example:
Oxygens atomic number is 8 so the proton and electron count is 8.
Hydrogens atomic number is 1 so the proton and electron count is 1.

A force of 20 N acts upon 5 kg block caculate the accerleration of the object

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{4 m $\cdot$ s$^{-2}$}}$

Explanation:

F = ma

$a = \dfrac{F}{m} = \dfrac{\text{20 N}}{\text{5 kg}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg$\cdot$ m $\cdot$ s$^{-2}$}}{\text{1 N}} = \text{4 m $\cdot$ s$^{-2}$}\\\\\text{The acceleration of the object is } \boxed{\textbf{4 m $\cdot$ s$^{\mathbf{-2}}$}}$

What is the easiest way for atoms without a full valence shell to gain a full valence shell?

sergey [27]

Most atoms do not. For those atoms that do not have a full valence shell (which usually would contain eight electrons, except for hydrogen and helium, where it would contain two), something has to change. So nature's tendency toward a full valence shell will lead to one of two things: The gain or loss of electrons.
