Answer:

Explanation:

The moon is a natural satellite of the earth, which performs rotational and revolutionary motions simultaneously. As the earth rotates about its axis, the moon rotates round it. But revolves round the Sun, as the earth also revolves round the Sun.

The motion of the moon causes series of its phases. Some major phases of the moon are, new moon, 1st quarter, full moon, and 3rd quarter (last quarter).

Since the moon reflects the light from the Sun, the face of the moon reflecting the light from the Sun changes gradually with respect to its motion.

At new moon, the face of the moon reflect no light. But reflects 100% at full moon. While both 1st and 3rd quarters show partial reflections.

What can always be said about a negatively-charged ion?
KiRa [710]

Answer: A negatively-charged ion always has more electrons than protons

Explanation:

First, we know that the elementary negative charge is the electron, while the positive one is the proton. Such that both have the same charge in magnitude, but a different sign. Such that if we have the same number of electrons and protons in an atom, the charge of this atom will be neutral.

And an ion is an atom with a different number of electrons and protons, so the charge of the atom is not neutral.

Then if we have a negatively-charged ion, the charge of this atom is negative. Then we must have a larger number of electrons (the negative ones) than protons (the positive ones)

Then the correct option is:

A negatively-charged ion always has more electrons than protons

Which statement best explains how isotopes can have different masses and still be the same element?
ss7ja [257]

Your list of choices is a very short list, and doesn't include any
correct explanation.

The mass of an atom is roughly the number of protons AND neutrons
in its nucleus, but the element only depends on how many protons are there. 

Different atoms of the same element may have different numbers of
neutrons, so their masses are different.  But they're the same element,
because they all have the same number of protons.
