Answer:
Anion
Explanation:
Anion is an atom or group of atoms that are negatively charged.
Cations are positively charged
Anode is a positively charged pole that conducts electricity (remember electrolysis)
Cathode is a negatively charged pole that conducts electricity (remember electrolysis too)
Valence electrons is an outer shell electron that is associated with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed. In a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.
The presence of valence electrons can determine the elements chemical properties, such as its valence—whether it may bond with other elements and, if so, how readily and with how many. In this way, a given element's reactivity is highly dependent upon its electronic configuration. For a main group element, a valence electron can exist only in the outermost electron shell; in a transition metal, a valence electron can also be in an inner shell.
An atom with a closed shell of valence electrons (corresponding to an electron configuration s2p6 for main group elements) tends to be chemically inert. Atoms with one or two valence electrons more than a closed shell are highly reactive due to the relatively low energy to remove the extra valence electrons to form a positive ion. An atom with one or two electrons less than a closed shell is reactive due to its tendency either to gain the missing valence electrons and form a negative ion, or else to share valence electrons and form a covalent bond.
Similar to a core electron, a valence electron has the ability to absorb or release energy in the form of a photon. An energy gain can trigger the electron to move (jump) to an outer shell; this is known as atomic excitation. Or the electron can even break free from its associated atom's shell; this is ionization to form a positive ion. When an electron loses energy (thereby causing a photon to be emitted), then it can move to an inner shell which is not fully occupied.
When forming ions, elements typically gain or lose the minimum number of electrons necessary to achieve a full octet. For example, fluorine has seven valence electrons, so it is most likely to gain one electron to form an ion with a 1- charge.
Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
Yes, I think that Barcelona has large temperature changes throughout the year because Barcelona has minimum temperature of 33°F in winter season and maximum temperature of 88°F in summer season. In Barcelona, the summers are short, warm, and humid while on the other hand, the winters in Barcelona are long, cold, and partly cloudy. The temperature typically varies from 40°F to 83°F and is rarely goes below 33°F or above 88°F.
Answer:
In physics, force is a push or pull on an object. A force can cause an object to accelerate, slow down, remain in place, or change shape. The unit of measure for force is the newton which is abbreviated as "N". One newton is the force needed to accelerate one gram of mass by one centimeter per second squared.
