D)Cation is the answer. A cation is a positive ion fromed by the removal of electrons from the outermost shell of an atom.

Let's take Na ( Sodium ) whose At. No is 11 as an example.
When we arrange them in electronic configuration Sodium has 3 shells. 2 in its innermost shell (K), 8 electrons in its 2nd shell which is named as 'L' & lastly 1 electron in its outermost shell (M).

We know that in an atom the no. of protons, neutrons and electrons are equal.

In case of sodium, when only electrons are reduced while protons remained same. Previously, the No. of protons and electrons were equal. But this time, There is an extra proton(+). This is the reason when an electron is removed we get a cation.

There are two factors that causes atoms to loose electrons -

1) Atomic Size

2) Nuclear Charge

Predict, using Boyle’s Law, what will happen to a balloon that an ocean diver takes to a pressure of 202 kPa (normal atmospheric
kaheart [24]

Explanation:

Balloon that an ocean diver takes to a pressure of 202 k Pa will get reduced in size that is the volume of the balloon will get reduced. This is because pressure and volume of the gas are inversely related to each other.

According to Boyle's law: The pressure of the gas  is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas at constant temperature(in Kelvins).

pressure\propto \frac{1}{volume} (At constant temperature)

The pressure beneath the sea is 202 kPa and the atmospheric pressure  is 101.3 kPa . This increase in pressure will result in decrease in volume occupied by the gas inside the balloon with decrease in size of a balloon. Hence, the size of the balloon will get reduced at 202 kPa (under sea).
