The name given to an ion that has lost electrons is cation. Details about cations can be found below.

<h3>What is a cation?</h3>

A cation is a positively charged ion i.e. the one that would be attracted to the cathode in an electrolytic procedure.

Generally, an ion is an electrically charged atom. An ion can either be positively charged or negatively charged. The latter is called an anion while the former is called a cation.

A cation is formed when an atom loses electrons to become positively charged while an anion is formed when an atom accepts electrons to become negatively charged.

Therefore, it can be said that the name given to an ion that has lost electrons is cation.

The atomic symbol Superscript 206 subscript 82 upper P b. represents lead-206 (Pb-206), an isotope that has 82 protons and 124 n
Serggg [28]

Answer:

\left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb \right.

Explanation:

isotopes are various forms of same elements with different atomic number but different mass number.

Radioactivity is the emission of rays or particles from an atom to produce a new nuclei. There are various forms of radioactive emissions which are

  • Alpha particle emission  \left \{ {{y=4} \atop {x=2}}He \right.
  • Beta particle emission    \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=-1}}e \right.
  • gamma radiation             \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ \right.

in the problem the product formed after radiation was Pb-206. isotopes of lead include Pb-204, Pb-206, Pb-207, Pb-208. they all have atomic number 82. which means the radiation cannot be ∝ or β since both radiations will alter the atomic number of the parent nucleus.

Only gamma radiation with \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ \right. will produce a Pb-206 of atomic number 82 and mass number 206 , since gamma ray have 0 mass and has 0 atomic number.equation is shown below

\left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right ⇒ \left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right +  \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ\right.

Thus the atomic symbol is \left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right

Jeannie dropped a solid object into a beaker of water and observed it for five minutes. Based on her observations, she determine
nignag [31]

Answer:

A.  The object broke apart and seemed to disappear when dropped into the glass of water.

Explanation:

In a physical change, the physical properties of the matter usually the state of the matter is altered. Most physical changes are usually reversible and does not lead to the production of new substances.

When the solid object was dropped into the water beaker and it dissolves by disappearing the solution, we have experienced a physical change. This is a dissolution reaction. If we heat the solution and water given off, we can recover back the dissolved solid object.
