Tim, with mass 79.8 kg, climbs a gymnasium rope a distance of 5.3 m. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . how much potential energy does tim gain? answer in units of j.

The gravitational potential energy gained by Tim is given by the following equation:

where
m is Tim's mass
g is the gravitational acceleration
is the vertical distance covered by Tim

If we substitute the data given by the problem into the equation, we find how much potential energy Tim has gained:

It won't lose or gain electrons if it's a covalent bond it shares the electrons with another atom or atoms. if it is an ionic bond it will lose the 3 electrons on the outer shell and become a positively charged ion.  credit goes to @sunshinebaby of answers.yahoo.com.
