Oxygen is the 8th element in the periodic table. This means that oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons. In order to get the number of neutrons you take the atomic weight in this case 15.9999~16 and you subtract it by the number of protons (16-8).

Metal cations are atoms that have a positive charge. What type of bond is a metal cation likely to form? A. covalent bond B. dou

Lunna [17]

Answer:

D. ionic bond

Explanation:

Due to electron deficiency in a metal cation, they cannot form a covalent bond beacuse it means to share electrons. By contrast metal cation seek for electrons. In an ionic bond, one atom give electrons, while another atom recevie electron. Because of that, this is the better option to metal cations.

In a series circuit there are 17 light bulbs, each providing 1 ohm of resistance. What is the total resistance?

Sauron [17]

Answer:

17 ohms

Explanation:

Given that,

In a series circuit there are 17 light bulbs, each providing 1 ohm of resistance.

We need to find the total resistance of the circuit.

The equivalent resistance for series combination is given by :

$R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+....$

For 17 light bulbs, the equivalent resistance is given by :

$R_{eq}=R+R+....\text{upto 17 terms}\\\\R_{eq}=17R\\\\=17$

Hence, the total resistance is 17 ohms. Hence, the correct option is (d).
