What is the potential energy at the top of the hill? The amount of potential energy is dependent upon mass and height and is found using the equation PE=m*g*h where g is the acceleration of gravity (approximated here to be 10 m/s/s). For a 50-kg sledder on top of a 4.0-meter high hill, the potential […]

Do elements in Group 1 gain or lose electrons?
Do elements in Group 1 gain or lose electrons? All Group 1 atoms can lose one electron to form positively charged ions. For example, potassium atoms do this to form ions with the same electron configuration as the noble gas argon. Group 2 atoms lose two electrons to form positively charged ions. Most elements in […]
