How does an atom become a positively charged ion

Chemistry

When, it donates electons.

as for example take
NaCl ( sodium chloride)

it's an ionic compund,
that means it is formed by donating or gaining electrons

Na is writen first than, it must be electropositive i.e it has donated electons which made it positive and the clorine gains electron so it's electronegative.

Na is positive because
as we know it's atomic number is 11 that means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons
now, when it donate electon it has, greater number of protons whose change is +ve so the atom becomes overall positively charged ion or cation.

and something same happens in clorine and because it gains one electron and the number of electrons increase in it by 1 whise charge is -ve so, the atom becomes negatively charged ion or anion which has a -1 charge.

What change was caused by a change in temperature?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The temperature of the earth determines how much water there is in our atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is the most commonly discussed of the greenhouse gases. This has occurred primarily because of the huge amounts of carbon dioxide humans are moving from the earth to the atmosphere in the burning of fossil fuels.Explanation:

CO_2 sublimes readily at 25°C. Which properties are usually associated with a compound that undergoes this kind of change?
antoniya [11.8K]

Explanation:

Sublimation is defined as a process in which solid state of a substance directly changes into vapor or gaseous state without undergoing liquid phase.

For example, naphthalene balls show sublimation at room temperature.

As this process does not cause any change in chemical composition of a substance. Hence, it is known as a physical process.

Similarly, when CO_{2} sublimes readily at 25^{o}C. This shows change in physical state of carbon dioxide is taking place, i.e, from solid to gaseous phase.

Thus, we can conclude that when CO_{2} sublimes readily at 25^{o}C then it means physical properties are usually associated with a compound that undergoes this kind of change.

If the oxidation state of H is +1 and O is -2, what is the oxidation state of C in C2H4O?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

-1

Explanation:

According to this question, the oxidation state/number of H and O in C2H4O is +1 and -2 respectively.

The oxidation state of carbon in the compound can be calculated thus:

Where;

x represents the oxidation number of C

C2H4O = 0 (net charge)

x(2) + 1(4) - 2 = 0

2x + 4 - 2 = 0

2x + 2 = 0

2x = -2

Divide both sides by 2

x = -1

The oxidation number of C in C2H4O is -1.
