<span>The answer is anions. Cations are positively-charged ions (in this case K+) while anions are negatively-charged ions (in this case Cl-). The ions attract each other  through electrostatic charges and arrange themselves in an ordered fashion to form a lattice</span>

Explanation:

A bond formed due to the transfer of electrons is known as an ionic bond.

For example, KCl is an ionic compound and due to the difference in electronegativity potassium has partial positive charge and chlorine have partial negative charge.

Also, it is known that opposite charges attract each other. So, cations have positive charge and anions have negative charge.

Thus, we can conclude that the reason salt crystals, such as kcl, hold together so well is because the cations are strongly attracted to anions.

Answer:

the proton and the neutron

Explanation:

mass of The proton is approximately  1.6726 × 10^-27 Kg

mass of the electron  is approximately 9.109 × 10^-31 Kg

mass of the neutron  is approximately 1.6749 × 10^-27 Kg

Here we see that mass of proton and neutron is approximately similar.

_____________________________________________

Lets see what is  the mass of these particle IN atm unit

mass of these particles can also be described in form of amu(atomic mass unit)

1 atm is the mass defined as 1/12 th of mass of the carbon-12(c-12) atom.

In terms of unit atm

mass of proton = 1 amu

mass of electron = 5.45 × 10−4 amu

mass of neutron = 1 amu

hence we can say that mass of proton = mass of neutron.

mass of atom is sum of mass of all the neutron and proton in the atom.

Hence, mass of neturon and atom cannot be equal.

This makes option four the neutron and the atom , the wrong choice.

correct answer is the proton and the neutron

therefore, An atom contains one proton , one electron and one neutron then, mass of proton is similar in mass of neutron.

In which cell structure does MOST of the process of cellular respiration take place?
ahrayia [7]

Mitochondria are rod-shaped organelles are basically considered the power producers of the cell, it converts oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate or ATP, which is the chemical energy,also known as "currency" of the cell which powers the metabolic actions of the cell. This process is called aerobic respiration and it is the reason animals breathe oxygen. Cellular repiration happens in the mitochodrion. The 3 phases of cellular respiration are Krebs Cycle, Electron Transport and Glycolysis (Fermentation). Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm while the Krebs cycle and electron transport take place in the mitochondria.
