Some examples:
- the sun
- a flashlight turned on
- a light bulb
- stars
- fireflies
...hope i helped :)
Explanation:
When an atom's outermost orbital gains or loses electrons (also known as valence electrons), the atom forms an ion. An ion with more protons than electrons carries a net positive charge and is called a cation. An ion with more electrons than protons carries a net negative charge and is called an anion

In rubidium oxide - Rb₂O , the ions are Rb⁺ and O²⁻
Rb is a group one element with one valence electron. To become stable it loses its outer electron to gain a complete outer shell.
Electronic configuration of Rb is - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶ 5s¹
Once it loses its valence electron the configuration is;
- 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶
The noble gas with this configuration is Krypton - Kr
Oxygen electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁴
Once it gains 2 electrons the configuration is - 1s² 2s² 3p⁶
The noble gas with this configuration is Neon - Ne
Answer:
Option B, HCO3 1-
Explanation:
The valence of Sodium ion is +1 and the valence of HCO3 is -1. Thus, sodium ion has an extra electron to be donated to complete its outer shell while HCO3 needs an electron to complete its outer shell
Hence Na will combine with HCO3 to form NaHCO3
Option B is correct
