The statement "An atom with high ionization energy will form a positive ion more easily than an atom with low ionization energy" is false.
In this context , we will define ionization energy as the minimum energy required to remove a valence electron from a neutral atom in it's gaseous state. In a sense the ionization energy is a measure the amount of 'difficulty' of making something an ion. A high ionization energy means that it takes a lot of energy to remove a valence electron from that atom. A low ionization energy means that it is easy to remove a valence electron from the atom. It is known that group 1 elements generally have a low ionization energy. On the other hand, it is harder for noble gasses and group 7 atoms to loose electrons because they have higher ionization energy.
To form a positive ion, you have to remove an electron. When an electron is removed from an atom, there ion formed has more positive charges than negative charges in it, making it net positive. We have established that atoms with low ionization energy loose elections much more easily. We have also established that atoms with high ionization energy do not loose electrons easily. From this we can gather that the statement is false. An atom with high ionization energy will not form a positive ion more easily that an atom with low ionization energy.
Answer:
They have mobile charged particles.
Explanation:
Plasma refers to very hot matter such that the electrons in matter are ripped away from the atoms leading to the formation of an ionized gas.
We know that the carriers of electricity are charged particles. Any state of matter that has an abundance of charge carriers will definitely be a good conductor of electricity.
Therefore, plasmas are good conductors of electricity because they have a lot of mobile charged particles.
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.
