Answer:
b) Gain or lose electrons
Explanation:
An ion is an electrically charged particle. For an atom to be charged, it must have gained or lost electron in the process and therefore, it becomes an ion.
The loss or gain of electrons is what makes an atom charged and eventually becomes an ion.
A positively charged ion is one that has lost an electron and it is called a cation. In such an ion, the number of electrons are lesser than those of protons. This is why they are cations
A negatively charged ion is one that has gained electrons. They are called anions. In such an ion, the number of electrons are greater than that of protons.
Answer:
4.23.
Explanation:
<em>∵ pH = - log[H⁺].</em>
<em>For weak acids:</em>
∵ [H⁺] = √(ka)(c).
∴ [H⁺] = √(3.5 × 10⁻⁸)(0.10 M) = 5.92 x 10⁻⁵.
∴ pH = - log[H⁺] = - log(5.92 x 10⁻⁵) = 4.2279 ≅ 4.23.
The required empirical formula of the silicon oxide is SiO2.
I believe the charge is positive as losing an electron suggests that the atom lost a negative charge, leaving it with more positive than negative.
I haven't taken this in a few years very sorry if i'm wrong tho.
