Potassium belongs to group IA of the elements. This means that it will give up one of its electrons to form the cation K+. Opposite to that is bromine in which it accepts one electrons to form the anion Br-. The binding of these elements will form KBr and is formed from transfer of electron from one element to the other. This is the mechanism of ionic bond formation.

ANSWER ON ED: K donates, or transfers, one electron to bromine, which has 7 electrons. Both K and Br are now stable with 8 electrons. K becomes a positive ion and Br becomes a negative ion. The positive K ion and the negative Br ion attract each other to form an ionic bond.

vlabodo [156]
There are two possible answers:
<span>- it can move out to a higher electron shell
- </span><span> it can stay in its original shell
</span><span>
In fact, sunlight consists of photons. When sunlight hits an electron, the electron can absorbs a photon, so it gains energy: as a result, the electron can move to a higher electron shell, which corresponds to a high energy level in the atom, if the energy given by the photon is at least equal to the energy difference between the two levels. However, if the photon energy is not large enough, the electron will stay in the same shell.</span>

The lowest point in Death Valley is 85.0 m below sea level. The summit of nearby Mt. Whitney has an elevation of 4420 m. What is
mestny [16]

Answer:

The change in gravitational potential energy of the hiker = 2869685 J

Explanation:

Potential Energy: This is the energy possessed by a body, due to its change in position in the gravitational field. The unit of potential energy is Joules (J)

From the question,

Change in gravitational potential energy = Energy of the hiker at the top of  Mt. Whitney - Energy of the hiker at the floor of Death valley.

ΔEp = mgh₂ - mgh₁

ΔEp = mg(h₂-h₁)........................... Equation 1

Where ΔEp =  change in Potential Energy of the hiker, m = mass of the hiker, g = acceleration due to gravity, h₁ = lowest point in Death valley, h₂ = Elevation of Mt. Whitney.

Given: m = 65.0 kg, h₁ = -85 m ( because is a valley), h₂ = 4420 m,

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Note: The h₁ is negative because is below sea level.

Substituting into equation 1

ΔEp = 65×9.8×[4420-(-85)]

ΔEp = 637(4420+85)

ΔEp = 637(4505)

ΔEp = 2869685

ΔEp = 2869685 J.

Thus the change in gravitational potential energy of the hiker = 2869685 J

Large and small numbers are often best entered in exponential notation. For example, the mass of the earth is 5.98x1024 kg and t
Doss [256]

Answer:

The charge to mass ratio is -1.76\times10^{11}

Explanation:

Mass\ of\ electron=m_e=9.11\times10^{-31} kg\\ Charge\ of\ the\ electron=q_e=-1.60\times10^{-19} C\\

We need to find how much charge is contained  in the electron per unit of mass, to do this we divide the charge in an electron and the mass of an electron:

\frac{Charge\ of\ electron}{Mass\ of\ electron}=\frac{q_e}{m_e}\frac{C}{kg}=\frac{-1.60\times10^{-19} C}{9.11\times10^{-31} kg}=-1.76\times10^{11} \frac{C}{kg}

What is the momentum of a 533 kg blimp moving east at +75 m/s
mylen [45]

Answer:

39975kgm/s due east

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the blimp  = 533kg

Velocity  = +75m/s due east

Unknown:

Momentum of the body  = ?

Solution:

The momentum of a body is the amount of motion it posses.

 Momentum is the product of mass and velocity;

 

  Momentum = mass x velocity

  Insert the parameters and solve;

    Momentum  = 533 x 75  = 39975kgm/s

The momentum of the body is 39975kgm/s due east
