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

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.

How can scientists use data from an earthquake to learn about Earth's layers? Hint for this question is A seismograph is an inst
oee [108]
Scientists learn about the layers deep within the Earth's crust by studying how seismic waves travel ... Usually, they use seismic waves, which are waves generated by earthquakes

FOR MORE EXPLANTION...JUST A LITTLE MORE

NOT REALLY REQUIRED BUT YOU CAN USE JUST FOR YOUR REFERENCE..

Excellent question! Scientists use waves to study the different layers of the earth. Usually, they use seismic waves, which are waves generated by earthquakes or nuclear-test explosions. The seismic waves are bent, sped up, or slowed down, or even reflected when they pass through the earth's layers. Different types of materials (liquid vs. solid, rigid vs. softer) determine the speed of the waves. Bending of the waves occurs at the layer's boundaries. So, scientists study the path and speed of these waves through the earth to decipher boundaries and the materials that make up the layers.



THATS WITH QUESTION 1
Now 2

Most active divergent plate boundaries occur between oceanic plates and exist as mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill.
