ionic compound. The atom that lost the electron becomes a cation, and the atom that gains an electron becomes an anion. The cation and anion bond together because they have opposite charges to form an ionic compound. The question may be looking for just cation or anion, though.
Answer:
(C) deflected toward the top of the page.(
Explanation:
We can answer this problem by using Fleming's Left Hand Rule. By doing so, we have to place:
- The index finger of the left hand in the direction of the magnetic field
- The middle finger of the left hand in the direction of the particle's velocity
- The thumb will give the direction of the force, and therefore the deflection of the proton
In this problem, we have:
- Magnetic field direction: into the page --> index finger
- Proton's velocity: to the right --> middle finger
By doing so, we observe that the thumb points towards the top of the page: therefore, the correct answer is
(C) deflected toward the top of the page.
