Cations are positive so they have less electrons than protons, while anions are negative so they have more electrons.
Vladimir [108]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A cation is an atom that has <u>more number of protons than electrons</u> electrons; while an Anion is an atom that has <u>more number of electrons</u> than protons.

Explanation:

A cation is an atom or a molecule which is positively charged, i.e. has more number of protons than electrons, and is attracted to the cathode (negative electrode) during electrolysis

An anion is an atom or a molecule which is negatively charged, i.e. has more number of electrons than protons and is attracted to the anode (positive electrode) in electrolysis.

Because of these characteristic, of being negatively and positively charged, anions and cations usually form bonds. These are known as ionic bonds and exist due to the mutual attraction of oppositely charged ions.

Prescribe how mountains change in abiotic conditions with an increase in elevations
olga55 [171]
The first famous natural scientist to determine how plants change with altitude on tall mountains was Alexander Von Humboldt and Aime Bonpland when climbing some very high volcanoes in South America like Chimborazo at well ove 20,000 feet high and they observed that different plants grow at different altitudes as altitude increases so that as the mountain was ascended the new environments of temperature, moisture,etc would become abiotic for the lower plants but acceptable for the higher elevation plants. In these cases in South America, the lower elevations had very warm temperatures and high humidity so would grow tropical plants with probably large leaves like palm trees etc. On the other hand at high elevations the temperature would be significantly decreased and probably humidity decreased too so only rugged plants like say lichens could grow. At intermediate elevations, most likely say pine trees could grow as I know they do at moderate elevations in Honduras for example.

Geography the process in which nutrients are dissolved in water and percolate downward below the root zone of crops is called:
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Nutrient Leaching

Leaching is the process where dissolved nutrients in the soil profile moves downward with percolating water. It is the loss of water-soluble plant nutrients from the soil. The nutrients that seep through the rooting zone may be recycled if roots grow deeper.
