If your science teacher says B, it’s probably because water has a negative and positive end, heat is just a form of energy, as other atoms can’t leave (they’re attracted to the ends) they are being insulated; but notice that ice will melt into gas (where atoms have tons of space) for other atoms to escape. Hence ice and gas aren’t ideal. (Air is a gas here.)
It’s not a 100% but hopefully it helps with some kind of analogy.

Ain___accepts electrons and becomes___

Serga [27]

Answer:

An atom accepts electrons and becomes an anion.

Explanation:

Atomic number = number of electrons = number of protons.

Atomic number of sodium is 11

So the atom contains 11 protons and 11 electrons

To find the number of neutrons we make use of the formula

Mass number - atomic number = number of neutrons

From the periodic table, we know mass number of sodium is 23

So number of neutron = 23 - 11 = 12.

When a sodium atom loses an electron it will have 11 positive protons and 10 negative electrons. Since 1 positive charge is more, Na becomes $Na^+$ .

Positively charged ion is called as cation

Chlorine's atomic number is 17 so it has 17 protons and 17 electrons.

When it gains an electrons, it will have 17 positive protons and 18 negative electrons. Since 1 negative charge is more, Cl becomes $Cl^-$ .

Negatively charged ion is called as anion.
