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

Comparing mitosis and meiosis can you help anyone
Reil [10]
Ok then! So mitosis is when a cell splits and doesn't lose/gain any chromosomes. In meiosis the chromosomes join and split evenly at the cell's "poles". Chromosomes will be lost evenly through this process.

think about putting a glass of water on the counter, in the freezer, and on a hot stove how does the temperature of the water af
Shtirlitz [24]

The kinetic energy and the physical state of water depend strongly on the temperature;

  • Firstly, The kinetic energy of water on a hot stove is higher than that on the counter in the freezer; that the kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature according to the relation: K = \frac{3RT}{2NA} ; where R is the universal gas constant, T is the temperature and NA is Avogadro number.

As the temperature increases, the speed of colliding molecules increases and the kinetic energy increases.

  • Secondly, The physical state of water depends on the temperature; water has three states (gas, liquid and solid) depends on the temperature.
  • If a glass of water is putt on the counter in the freezer, it will be converted to the solid state (ice).
  • And, as if it is putt on a hot stove, it will be vapor (gaseous state).
