Atoms for negative or positive ions depending on whether they lose or gain electrons to achieve the stable octet.  If an atom loses electrons then it would have a positive charge (cation) and if the atom gains electrons then it would become negatively charged (anion).

3 reasons why aluminium is used in making of cooking vessels
Annette [7]

Answer is : It is a good thermal and electrical conductor. -The main point to be noted is that aluminium is a highly reactive element and still it is used for making cooking utensils. The reason is that aluminium has a very high affinity for oxygen. So, it reacts with oxygen and forms a layer of aluminium oxide on its surface.

The reaction of hydrogen and iodine to produce hydrogen iodide has a Kc of 54.3 at 703 K. Given the initial concentrations of H2
pentagon [3]

Answer:

[HI] = 0.7126 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Kc = 54.3

Temperature = 703 K

Initial concentration of H2 and I2 = 0.453 M

Step 2: the balanced equation

H2 + I2 ⇆ 2HI

Step 3: The initial concentration

[H2] = 0.453 M

[I2] = 0.453 M

[HI] = 0 M

Step 4: The concentration at equilibrium

[H2] = 0.453 - X

[I2] = 0.453 - X

[HI] = 2X

Step 5: Calculate Kc

Kc = [Hi]² / [H2][I2]

54.3 = 4x² / (0.453 - X(0.453-X)

X = 0.3563

[H2] = 0.453 - 0.3563 = 0.0967 M

[I2] = 0.453 - 0.3563 = 0.0967 M

[HI] = 2X = 2*0.3563 = 0.7126 M
