Answer:
Cations are positively charged atoms and hence we need to make the atom positively charged in order to get a cation
We know that an atom is neutral as a whole, so we have equal number of electrons and protons
since we cannot mess with the number of protons in an atom, we have to do it by altering the number of electrons
If we reduce the amount of electrons in an atom, the net charge will be positive and hence a cation will be formed
B.) Helium have <span>two protons and two electrons

Answer:
D. The electrochemical reaction of the battery must be reversible.
Explanation:
The batteries are based on the production of an electric flux given by a<u> redox reaction</u>. This reaction is <u>spontaneous</u> and is<u> thermodynamically favored</u>.
Thus, when the reactants to the reaction are finished, the flow of current stops and ends. Therefore, when current is administered from another source, the reaction <u>changes its direction</u> and reagents that were previously consumed begin to occur. Therefore the condition for it to be <u>rechargeable</u> is that the reaction can go <u>forward or backward</u>, that is, it is <u>reversible</u>.
It creates oxygen which every living thing needs to live. i hope this helps! :)
I’m pretty sure it would be D.
