So ions are atoms that have either gained or lost electrons to complete their energy levels.

In order for a positive ion to be formed, an atom must lose electrons.

In order for a negative ion to be formed, an atom must gain electrons.

When an atom loses and electron, it loses a negative charge and then becomes a positive ion.

Place the following elements in order of increasing electronegativity.K Cs PA. K < P < CsB. P < Cs < KC. Cs < K &
skad [1K]

Answer:

C. Cs < K < P

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the basically the tendency of an atom to attract electrons. The pauling scale is used to quantify electronegativity, the most electronegative element; fluorine has a value of 4.0 and francium, the least electronegative element has a value of 0.7

The electronegative values of the following elements are given as;

K = 0.82

Cs =0.79

P = 2.19

Arranging in order of increasing electronegativity, we have;

Cs < K < P. The correct option is;

C. Cs < K < P

Which is a characteristic of nuclear fusion but NOT nuclear fission?
lisabon 2012 [21]
The answer is B. is the energy source of stars.

Fission is the type of nuclear energy simulated on Earth, as it is the one used to generate electricity. Fusion, on the other hand, is much more complicated to achieve because it requires extremely hot temperatures compared to fission. Fusion involves the combination of two hydrogen atoms to make helium, which releases a lot of energy. Stars such as the sun, exhibit fusion with its very hot temperature and abundant source of hydrogen.
